Recce and UAV: mass memory an enabling technology for merger

Abstract

The cost of manned Recce missions, threat to loss of lives in manned missions, evolution of Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) technology, higher resolution sensors, smart memory systems, and autonomous detection and recognition algorithms will enhance the role of the UAV for Recce missions. OSC/FD is developing the Enhanced Recce Management System and enabling technologies for this expansion in roles. Solid state memories, and the Moving Target Indicator are core elements of these enabling technologies.
