GE has been developing high performance recording systems for ruggedized and militarized applications, covering spaceborne, airborne, shipboard and mobile applications. Through sponsorship of the Air Force's Rome Laboratory (RL), the 14-inch Tactical Optical Disk System (TODS) is currently being designed and built for reconnaissance aircraft applications. These applications require real time data capture and online storage of large image and sensor database files, which must be stored and retrieved rapidly. This requirement translates into high peformance system specifications for the 14-inch TODS optical disk storage system. Of primary concern is high, continuous data transfer rates and large data storage capacities. Large image files cannot be segmented, thus requiring the system to contain the entire data file on a single media unit, and to stream the file at a very high data transfer rate. A high capacity, high data rate rewritable optical disk drive and controller for tactical applications has been designed. The 14-inch TODS system is capable of storing 12 gigabytes of user data at data rates up to 50 megabits-per-second on a double sided 14-inch magneto-optic rewritable optical disk.
