Since 1995, Larus has offered custom software engineering to public, para-public and private sector clients, primarily for defense, surveillance and security areas.

Through these consulting contracts, Larus has developed unique technical expertise and an excellent reputation with clients and technology partners including Canadian Forces, DRDC-Ottawa, Canadian Space Agency, NATO, Inmarsat International and others.

We specialize in the area of network-enabled real-time systems, simulation environments, embedded computer and control systems. An extensive background in public and private security projects has made Larus a specialist in high reliability, real-time systems with adherence to standards and quality. Larus brings a professional understanding to a project’s life cycle with experience in requirements specification, design documentation, implementation and validation.

Larus Technologies has significant expertise and operational experience in the development of advanced systems for multi-sensor data collection, aggregation, display, exploitation and fusion for defence applications.

C4ISR Expertise

Initially under contract to DRDC-Ottawa, Larus Technologies participated in the NATO led Coalition Aerial Surveillance and Reconnaissance (CAESAR) project and its follow on: Multi-sensor Aerospace-ground Joint ISR Interoperability Coalition (MAJIIC).

Larus currently is working with the Canadian Forces Land Forces ISTAR (LFISTAR) to continue development of the Canadian Reconnaissance Operational Workstation and Exploitation (CROWE) system and its various components.

To further the net-centric exchange of data through the collect, post and exploit life-cycle, Larus has also developed the necessary interfaces and data algorithms to allow ISR data products to be shared with the LFISTAR C2IEDM compliant Operational DataBase (ODB) Command and Control system.  CROWE and the ODB interface have been tested at various national and international exercises including the live exercises ISTAR05, Empire Challenge 06 and the MAJIIC simulation exercise MAJEX07.

Larus is also developing the Coalition Shared Data server (CSD) and the necessary client interfaces to allow ISTAR systems to seamlessly post, search and acquire ISR products through not only the Canadian CSD, but other STANAG 4559 compliant database systems and the US Coalition Airborne Repository (CAR) as well.

Relevant Projects:

• Macro-Fusion and Predictive Modeling Feasibility Study. Produced techniques that allow for the macro-fusion of multi-type multi-source data
• Sensor Exploitation and Data Collection. Prime Developer CROWE exploitation system and data collector. Interoperable with MAJIIC STANAG 4607. Interface to LFISTAR C2IEDM system
• ISR Simulation and Performance Study. Contracted to DRDC Ottawa to perform model simulation and performance study of HSFWR surveillance sensor augmented with airborne and space based sensors
• Member NATO Coalition MAJIIC Working Group. Member of MAJIIC Technical Working Group developing standards and implementation methods for the MAJIIC coalition project
