What does GRDS mean in detail?
The Generic Radar Display System is a standardized display system for radar data that can be used with different radar sensors. It decouples the display from the specific radar, so that the same operating logic is available on different platforms.
Advantages of the generic approach
Instead of developing a new display for every radar type, a common system is used that can be configured for the respective sensor. This reduces development costs, simplifies training and ensures that operators find the same display on all platforms.
Operational usage
The GRDS processes radar data from air surveillance, sea surveillance or ground mapping and displays tracks, targets and warnings. In command centers and on ships, it forms the interface between the radar sensors and the operators who evaluate the air or sea situation.
