Research abstract
THE ARMY ANTICIPATES THE CONTROL OF MULTIPLE UNMANNED ROBOTIC VEHICLES FROM A SINGLE MANNED VEHICLE. THE ROBOTIC VEHICLES WOULD BE PERFORMING A VARIETY OF MISSIONS: WEAPONS FIRING, NBC DETECTION, DECOY, RECON, MINE DETECTION AND CLEARING AND TARGET ACQUISITION AND DESIGNATION FOR EXAMPLE. THE COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND INTELLIGENCE REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH A ROBOTIC FLEET REQUIRE THE IMPROVEMENT OF PRESENT COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES. AREAS OF INTEREST ARE COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY, LASER COMMUNICATIONS, AND BANDWIDTHREDUCTION TECHNIQUES TO ALLOW VIDEO IMAGERY TO BE TRANSMITTED FROM A MOBILE ROBOT VEHICLE TO A REMOTE COMMAND CENTER OVER AN RF LINK FOR DRIVING OF THE ROBOT VEHICLE. THIS PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON THE USE OF MOTION COMPENSATION AND TRANSFORM CODING AS A COMPRESSION TECHNIQUE.
