Data Compression

Abstract

Reduction of Data Using Compression Enhancement (RDUCE) provides efficient and integrated compression of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor data. 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 Systems (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 compression also allows for maximizing the use of limited bandwidth and delivering more data, faster to the tactical user in the field. 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 weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 $0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
