From radar sensor systems for blind spots to ultrasonic sensors for low-speed manoeuvring, each solution is designed to alert the driver when objects are close to the vehicle. Whether you need radar detection for harsh off-road environments, cyclist detection for urban HGV operation, front blind-spot monitoring for DVS and R159 requirements, or ultrasonic detection for confined spaces, Brigade can help you choose the right system for your fleet. Blind spots, restricted visibility and busy working environments place constant pressure on drivers and operators. Brigade detection systems add another layer of awareness by using radar or ultrasonic technology to detect objects in defined areas around the vehicle. Systems can provide in-cab visual and audible alerts, helping drivers understand what is close to the vehicle and supporting more informed decisions when reversing, turning, moving off or operating in tight spaces. ![](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/backsense-detection-graphic-pickup-truck-600px.webp "backsense-detection-graphic-pickup-truck-600px") ![](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/radar-predict-na-600px.webp "radar-predict-rhd-600px") ![Brigade Backsense® 77GHz Radar sensor and display](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/backsense-radar-77ghz-with-display-1200px.webp "backsense-radar-77ghz-with-display-1200px") #### Backsense® Radar Sensor Backsense® heavy-duty radar proximity sensor systems are designed to detect stationary and moving objects in vehicle blind spots. The range includes fixed detection models and programmable models, allowing custom detection areas and calibration around fixed objects or bodywork. ![Brigade Radar Predict for blind spot detection](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/radar-predict-lhd-llm-1200px.webp "radar-predict-rhd-llm-1200px") #### Radar Predict Radar Predict is an advanced blind spot detection system for HGVs. Using AI-powered radar technology, it analyses speed, direction and movement to distinguish between static and moving objects, helping reduce unnecessary alerts and supporting driver focus. ![Brigade Front Radar](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/front-radar-1200px.webp "front-radar-1200px") #### Front Radar Brigade Front Radar systems are dual-radar collision prediction systems with a 180-degree detection angle to the front of the vehicle. They are designed to detect vulnerable road users in the front blind spot when the vehicle is stationary or moving off. ![Brigade IP-1200C Surface-Mount Dome IP Camera](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/6155-sidescan-predict-display-1024x614-1.webp "6155-sidescan-predict-display-1024x614") #### Sidescan® Predict Sidescan® Predict uses ultrasonic technology and an intelligent algorithm to assess speed, direction and acceleration of both the vehicle and detected object. It predicts whether a collision is likely and alerts the driver through a multi-stage in-cab visual and audible warning system. ![Brigade Radar OSD with Backeye®360 AI Camera and Backsense® Radar BS-9100 sensor](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/radar-osd-llm-1200px.webp "radar-osd-llm-1200px") #### Backsense® Radar On-Screen Display Backsense® Radar OSD brings radar and camera detection into a single in-cab display. Designed for construction and mining vehicles, it overlays radar detection information onto the monitor, helping reduce the need for multiple screens and supporting clearer driver awareness. ![Brigade Ultrasonic Sensor](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ultrasonic-sensor-1200px.webp "ultrasonic-sensor-1200px") #### Ultrasonic Sensors Brigade ultrasonic sensors are designed for road-going commercial vehicles operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speed. The system alerts the driver to nearby obstacles, whether moving or stationary, using audible and/or visual in-cab warnings. ### Compliance Compliant with CLOCS, FORS and construction companies who require commercial vehicles to meet specific safety specifications. Brigade’s range of ultrasonic proximity sensor systems include; **Backscan®**, **Frontscan®**, **Sidescan®**, **Cornerscan™** and **Stepscan™**. - Gives peace of mind to the driver - Greater protection to pedestrians, cyclists and workers - Minimizes damage to vehicle, property and other objects ![](https://brigade-electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/uds-module-eu-na.webp "uds-module-uk") ### Ultrasonic sensor proximity Sensor data and camera image combined. Working with a camera monitor system and up to two ultrasonic detection systems, the on-screen display module warns the driver of obstacles close to the vehicle by overlaying 3-stage audible and visual ultrasonic data onto the camera image on the vehicle’s monitor. - Integration of Brigade’s ultrasonic obstacle detection and camera monitor systems to improve safety. - Ultrasonic detection warnings overlaid onto the camera image on in-cab monitor. - Reduced driver stress and distractions as all information is in one view. #### Keep safety in motion Partner with the global leader in commercial vehicle safety to find the right solution for your operation.
