MITRE Preprocessor

Abstract

A high-speed, special-purpose preprocessor has been designed for the GEODSS (Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance) system during the experimental test and evaluation phase of this program. The preprocessor is part of snapshot MTI technique presently being tested and evaluated at the GEODSS experimental Test Site (ETS). The preprocessor provides the interface between a low light level TV sensor and the MITRE multi-minicomputer processor. The primary functions performed by the preprocessor are: input signal processing, buffer memory data storage, output data processing, and preprocessor and TV sensor timing and control. This report provides a detailed system level description of the preprocessor concept, function and implementation. Detailed schematics and logic diagrams of the preprocessor are documented separately.
