Rutter Technologies is a global provider of vertically integrated products and advanced marine solutions for commercial and military sectors. Its high quality products include the Radar 100-S6, sigma S6 Radar Signal Processor, the High Resolution Video and Audio Recorder and the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR).

The sigma S6 product line uses high resolution radar imagery and advanced processing functions to remove sea and weather clutter and other signal interference to significantly increase target detection and tracking. It is ideally suited for demanding applications such as search and rescue, iceberg detection, coastal surveillance, and port and harbor security.

Rutter's sigma S6 radar and radar processor is a low cost, multipurpose tool for marine navigation and monitoring. The sigma S6 is used worldwide as a tool to assist navigation in ice infested waters. The system is used to detect leads, ice ridges and vessel wakes which enable the navigator to better plan the path of least resistance through the ice field. The result is reduced sailing time, less fuel consumption and less risk of hull damage. The sigma S6 has also been proven to detect oil spills using X and S-band radar. Rutter also provides full radar systems that and are used in bridge traffic monitoring.

Rutter's High Resolution Video and Audio Recorders and Voyage Data Recorders (VDR) leverage state of the art recording and networking technology to capture mission critical video, audio and data for incident analysis, incident re-creation and training.

Northrop Grumman leads the industry in the development and integration of C4ISR systems for use by military and civilian activities in a variety of land border, coastal, harbor, underwater, shipboard, and air applications. The DoD system and software architecture on which our C4IS is based has been developed and refined through years of operational use and is the most widely distributed C4ISR system in the world. We add to this an optimum mix of state-of-the-art sensor technologies and secure Blue Force Tracking (BFT) and communications, combined with automated multi-sensor correlation providing a real-time fused Common Operational Pictures (COP) of the AOR and decision aids providing automated support for detection, tracking, classification, identification, and intercept of land, sea, and air threats. The results are proven, cost effective, and rapidly deployable C4ISR solutions that are adaptable to the full range of military and civilian government missions, fully interoperable across joint air, sea, and ground environments, and provide operators with unprecedented situational awareness and command and control in support of joint operations.
