Development of an Adaptive Computing System with Remote Pods and Data Acquisition and Sensor Integration

Abstract

This project consisted of the development of an adaptive computing system with an emphasis on remote sensor control, data acquisition, and sensor data processing. During the project, two hardware platforms were designed and developed and software was modified and extended to the new platforms. The developed hardware was then integrated into an existing infrared focal plan array sensor package and used for sensor control and data acquisition. The use of reconfigurable hardware has extended the capabilities of the sensor platform considerably and has proven very successful.
