Data Compression
Abstract
The program began developing and testing compression and decompression algorithms for airborne ISR sensor data. The program will eventually build, integrate and test sensor specific hardware (with the algorithms embedded) for onboard data compression. The effort initially focused on compression and decompression of complex and detected Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data followed by applications of compression technologies to other DoD IMINT/MASINT sensor data (Spectral, Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR), Phase History SAR) and ground architecture. Algorithms will be suitable for service-wide use as part of ISR enterprise standards. NOTE: In FY16, PE 0305208F, Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems, Project 676025, Data Compression, was transferred to PE 0305206F, Airborne Reconnaissance System, Project 676025, Data Compression, to better align the program with like RDT&E efforts.
