Mobile Advanced Data Compression Adaptive Technology

"Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Mobile Advanced Data Compression Adaptive Technology (MADCAT) communication system to transmit EIA-170 and EIA-343A streaming video over current tactical radios. MADCAT applies POC's novel softcomputing and soft communication fuzzy logic algorithm and supercomputer-class Processing and Ultra-Memory Access IC hardware to achieve 4000:1 video hypercompression. MADCAT video hyercompression removes redundancy mostly by eliminating unnecessaryI-frames, without sacrificing video quality. MADCAT hardware physical layer transparency makes it compatible with any type of Army rotorcraft tactical radio, including SINCGARS and AN/PRC-117F. In Phase I, POC will demonstrate a preliminary MADCATprototype (both software and hardware) that includes video/audio compression, a physical layer, a novel sensor-specific communication interface, and bit-selective error resilient channel coding. In Phase II, POC will develop and demonstrate the full-scaleMADCAT prototype model in a realistic environment, transmitting for example, EIA-343A video from rotorcraft to a ground station over Army rotorcraft tactical radios. The final MADCAT prototype will be fully compliant with ROSA RTA. The MADCAT technologyaddresses a wide range of large and diverse video communication markets. Video conferencing and cellular videophones are two key rapidly growing sectors. It is expected that the video conferen
