Brigade has launched Backsense® Radar On-Screen Display (OSD), a next-generation safety system that combines radar and camera technologies into one intelligent in-cab solution for construction, mining and other demanding operating environments.
Designed to support safer manoeuvring and improve driver awareness, Backsense® Radar OSD gives operators a clearer understanding of what is happening around the vehicle while helping reduce in-cab distraction.
One connected safety system
Backsense® Radar OSD brings radar and camera detection together into a single, unified display. Instead of relying on multiple monitors and separate alerts, drivers receive one clear view of surrounding hazards with radar detection zones overlaid directly onto the screen.
The system combines Brigade’s proven radar technology with AI-powered camera systems to deliver dependable, real-time awareness around the vehicle.
Adaptive radar detects objects at distances of up to 60 metres and continues to perform in challenging conditions including dust, darkness and poor weather. At the same time, AI camera systems can recognise pedestrians and other hazards to support faster, more informed driver responses.
Together, these technologies help operators move towards safer worksites, improved visibility and greater confidence during everyday manoeuvres.
Designed to reduce distraction
Radar alerts are displayed directly on the monitor and supported by a five-stage audible warning system. This creates a more intuitive experience that reduces unnecessary complexity in the cab while helping drivers react quickly to changing surroundings.
The system also adapts automatically to different operating conditions. Configurable detection zones and optional GPS-enabled adaptive detection allow detection ranges to adjust in real time based on vehicle speed. This removes the need for manual reconfiguration and helps maintain consistent safety performance throughout the working day.
Built for flexibility across fleets
Backsense® Radar OSD is engineered to suit a wide range of commercial vehicles and mobile plant applications.
The system supports up to four radar sensors and three camera inputs using AHD or CVBS formats. It is also fully compatible with Brigade’s Backeye®360 camera system and AI Human Form Recognition (HFR) technology for enhanced pedestrian awareness.
This flexibility makes the system particularly valuable for aftermarket installations where operators need scalable safety solutions that can adapt across mixed fleets.
Engineered for demanding environments
Built for harsh operating conditions, Backsense® Radar OSD delivers reliable performance in construction, mining and heavy-duty applications.
Radar sensors are rated to IP69K and operate in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. The system also meets key international standards including CE marking, UNECE R10 (E-mark) and FCC/IC approvals, supporting compliance across global markets.
Thierry Bourgeay, Senior Product Manager at Brigade, said:
“Backsense® Radar OSD represents a significant step forward in vehicle safety integration. By combining radar and camera technologies into a single, intelligent system, we’re giving operators a clearer, more reliable picture of what’s happening around their vehicles. This supports the reduction of complexity in the cab while increasing confidence on the ground, especially in the challenging environments our customers operate in every day.”
