High-Speed Integrated Circuits for Military Applications.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ascertain current, and anticipated future, military requirements for integrated circuit functions which necessitate higher speeds or circuit complexity than are now available. An attempt was to be made to define a limited class of large-scale integrated circuits which could satisfy a broad range of DoD military system needs and might therefore be developed and produced as standard devices in large volume. The computationally intensive subsystems include synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing, inverse SAR (or PROFILE) processing, acoustic beam forming, ELINT, image processing, adaptive antenna arrays, communications and navigation. Some of the algorithmic processes which contribute to the high computational throughput are for the purposes of spectral analysis, encryption, error correction coding and decoding, coordinate transformation, voice abstraction and synthesis, signal conditioning, etc.
