Integrated C3I optical processor

The integration of optical/optoelectronic processing functions for operating on multiple C3I signals/data including surveillance, electronic support measures, communication, intelligence, and imaging is addressed. The C3I optical processor is capable of operating in a broad spectrum of signals (HF to IR) provided by multispectral passive sensors, bistatic ESM, IR cameras, and multimode/band radars. The processor meets processing requirements for multifunction airborne surveillance and advanced space sensor systems. Attention is also given to optical processors for adaptive null steering, adaptive beamforming, and general purpose computation.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
