Composites

Figure 1. Radar composite example

With composites, you can combine data from many radars or lidars to provide an expanded area of coverage. This means you can:

  • Fill-in blind spots caused by mountains or required sector blanking.
  • Fill-in blind spots caused by scan strategy limitations (for example, not scanning to high elevation angles).
  • Simplify product management so users do not need to check multiple single-device images.

With IRIS Focus, you can view the following composite types:

Dynamic composites

IRIS Focus users can create composites of on-demand products by selecting multiple radar/lidar sites from the site selector.

Pre-defined composites

IRIS Focus powerusers can set up and manage pre-defined composites.

Configuring pre-defined composites provides more control than dynamic composites over settings such as the combining algorithm and Max Time Span.

IRIS Analysis Composites

IRIS Analysis Composites are set up in IRIS Analysis as IRIS COMP products and sent to IRIS Focus much like other pre-configured products.
