HIGH THROUGHPUT ULTRASENSITIVE DETECTOR

Not Available Light-weight rapid deployment military vehicles will require a high degree of crew survivability, by remoting crew members and providing vehicle control in addition to realistic imagery feedback. The problem is that realistic 3-D imagery is impossible to collect, transmit and reconstruct, without an inordinate amount of equipment, bandwidth and costs. As a result the operator is aped to make mistakes in interpreting the scenery. For these systems to be feasible for both military and commercial use, they must be implemented in a reasonable cost, package size, power consumption, and work in variety of environments both day and night. Sensors will be used to measure objects and terrain features then processed to identify driving obstacles and hazards. These features will then be denoted on the actual driving camera's video in an unobtrusive manner alerting the operator of danger areas. This unique solution will not increase the bandwidth requirement, and with newer generations of sensors and processors, can be realized and tested. BENEFITS: This system is not unique to tactical vehicles; therefore, it could be easily adapted to industrial vehicles used in hazardous environments, minimizing civilian endangerment. By providing these capabilities, the + crew would not only benefit from receiving driveable video and audio from the vehicle, but the enhanced options will aid in their decisions to perform their mission, resulting in increased productivity.
