The reconnaissance cycle time problem consists of the transportation delay associated with carrying the video tape from the target site to the image interpreter, and the interpretation delay associated with detecting an classifying targets. Until airborne screener/classifiers become a reality, the solution to the reconnaissance cycle time problem will evolve to a point such that transportation and processing delay is minimized through the use of such an exploitation system and a wideband data link. The data link will be able to support both analog and digital data. This solution to the reconnaissance cycle time problem will consist of an RF link and automated image interpretation, i.e., automatic detection and classification of targets, supplemented by computer assisted verification. After proof of concept has been demonstrated, the far term solution will utilize an airborne screener. Airborne screening allows only that small portion of the sensed imagery containing targets to be transmitted, thus realizing a tremendous reduction in required data link bandwidth. Sufficiently low data rates permit the use of antijam equipment in hostile environments or HF over-the-horizon data links, thus eliminating the need for expensive data relay aircraft. The proposed configuration may be easily adapted to a hostile environment or to a scenario utilizing real-time 'on-board' screening of target data.
