Abstract

"The challenge of this project is to take advantage of existing digital television (DTV) developments and apply them to missiles, unmanned vehicles, manpack systems, and unmanned sensors. The unique capabilities that Physical Optics Corporation (POC)brings to this problem are nearly lossless extreme compression techniques implemented within military size/weight/power constraints. Based on these techniques, POC proposes to develop a novel universal compression (UC) system compatible with all presentand future DTV and compression standards. The proposed system hardware will have ultra-high processing power, over 30 billion operations per second, to execute even the most demanding compression algorithms for all current and emerging Advanced TelevisionSystem Committee formats. Some of the advantages of UC technology include: compatibility with all current and emerging DTV standards through digital cosine transform (DCT), motion estimation, and wavelet compression; ultrahigh processing power, over 30billion operations per second; ultralow latency of wavelet-based compression (less than 15 ms), and low latency for MPEG compression (less than 150 ms); remote selection of compression ratio from 10:1 to 4000:1. The proposed concept will find a wide rangeof applications in target confirmation and battle damage indication and assessment. Small volume and low weight will make the proposed system easier to integrate on munitions and small UA
