Research abstract
The intent of the Phase 1 technical effort it to study new RIO processing approaches that reduce the overall timeline from process start to NITF delivery. This study will identify unique ways to process the data and provide recommendations to consider by the Navy.ĀĀPotential recommendations include: Storage Solutions, Pre-Loading Data, Re-Writing Code, Parallel Processing, GPU Acceleration. BlackSky will also attempt to gauge the expected reduction in processing time resulting from each method. The scope and effort required to implement these methods will also be investigated. This information will give an estimate for the possible processing time reduction from each method and the effort required to implement it.
