Caledonian’s Scorpio Mission System has its roots in the 1980’s where Systems were devised by Caledonian to facilitate Airborne Maritime Surveillance and Flight Tracking Flight Tests on aircraft including Rotary Wing aircraft travelling to and from oil rigs in the North Sea, using the RAF’s Nimrod as a central element of the tests. By the 1990’s Caledonian had designed and manufactured a range of Mission Displays and, notably, the CPT-096 Track While Scan Radar Enhancement. From these origins emerged the philosophy of the Scorpio Mission System, a System that facilitates a wide range of capabilities. While the core of the system has changed little, in essence, in 15 years, the architecture is highly adaptable thanks to its modular design. Additional Peripheral Capabilities are continually being developed in line with airborne maritime surveillance demands. These have encompassed increased scope to interface with contemporary and mature (sometimes very mature) aerospace data standards, both analogue and digital as well as industrial standards that are increasingly finding their way into aircraft.
