Application of Operator Video Bandwidth Compression/Reduction Research to RPV (Remotely Piloted Vehicle) System Design

摘要

An analytical program to compile, analyze, synthesize, and apply the results of past operator video bandwidth compression/reduction research to the design and development of the U.S. Army Remotely Piloted Vehicle Target Acquisition/Designation Aerial Reconnaissance System was conducted. The analytical work reported addressed the following five program tasks: 1) Compile available video bandwidth compression/reduction operator performance data; 2) Develop mission/task descriptions for the Army RPV system Mission Payload Operator; 3) Analyze and synthesize video bandwidth compression/reduction operator performance research data in terms of RPV system design parameters and operator tasks; 4) Derive recommended RPV bandwidth compression/reduction system design parameters; and 5) Identify critical Army RPV system research and simulation requirements.
