Visteon Corporation recently announced a joint development agreement with Raytheon Company, through its Commercial Electronics Group, aimed at developing next generation radar-based sensors for Intelligent Transportation Systems.

"By cooperating with one of the world's leading radar technology companies, we are in a great position to leverage our systems and electronics expertise with Raytheon's radar technology," said John Barkley, director of Advanced Cross Systems for Visteon.  "Visteon is really focusing on offering system solutions to our customers that will provide a wide-array of safety and security products like radar sensing technology."

Visteon and Raytheon will cooperate in the design and development of products and technologies centered on advanced radar technologies like near-object-detection system modules.  Together with Raytheon, Visteon anticipates being able to develop technologies that explore advanced system integration in electronics to surround the vehicle with sensing in their “Smart Radar Cocoon” concept (see related article).

By taking radar-based technology and combining it with studies about how humans interact with machines and electronics, Visteon and Raytheon plan to cooperate to bring to market "next generation" detection capabilities for the immediate vehicle environment.  Such a partnership, by marrying programmable systems to advanced radar capability, may in fact take object detection to the next level.
