Data Compression

Abstract

RDUCE provides efficient and integrated compression of airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor data, maximizing the use of limited bandwidth and delivering more data, faster to the tactical user in the field. RDUCE develops, tests, and integrates new sensor data compression software and hardware for current and emerging airborne and space-based ISR sensors. The program develops compression capabilities for manned and unmanned platforms, associated ground stations, and the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). RDUCE data products meet standard certification for use within the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community (IC) Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) collection disciplines. RDUCE activities include continuous studies, analysis, and updates to support program planning and execution. RDUCE also seeks to acquire certification of its data compression algorithms which includes acceptance into the DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR). By ensuring compliance with appropriate standards governing bodies, RDUCE is always ready to satisfy new operational requirements. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver technology and sensor capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
