Abstract

A very-high-speed sensor processor subsystem (MSPS) is described in terms of its design, fabrication techniques, and applications to fielded military systems. Incorporated in the design are high-speed GaAs and Si integrated circuits and an algorithm for aided target recognition and multiple target tracking. The existing Mast Mounted Sight (MMS) system is described, and the MSPS system is described in detail to permit a comparison of the two system processors. The speed of the proposed system is 100 million instructions/s, and the system operates in parallel and offers 24-bit floating point multiplies and ALU operations and 16 bit integer multiplies internal with 24-bit integer operations and external memory access. The processor employs existing form factor, power supply, operational software, and interfaces, and can be operated at about the same cost with reduced operator workload.
