GEN Ryan, AF Chief of Staff - A lot of people
are very interested in hyperspectral technology
This is just the beginning of
HSI. Dr. Collier, Army SMDC Chief Scientist-
This can workIt automatically reduces vast

Proposed ASAS/Hyper Spectral Information
Experiment
PURPOSE To Automate as much as possible the
dissemination of Hyper Spectral based Information
from the Adaptive Surveillance Reconnaissance
Program (ASRP) to an approved Intelligence System.
OBJECTIVES Using an ASAS RWS or WARLORD LIGHT,
located in the ASRP Mobil Ground Station
(MGS) 1. Receive NITF2 images from a WIN NT
system. 2. Annotate image and archive it for
access by another ASAS (WEB PAGE) 3. Create a
valid USMTF message (RECEXREP?) from NITF2
message header and transmit it and
annotated image to a ASAS RWS located at the
HSIC. 4. Have MSG/Image parse and plot on
HSICs ASAS map within 30 minutes from ASRP down
load. 5. Have ASAS generate and pass a TACFIRE
msg to AFTADS. (Secondary objective) 6. Test in
Jan 00.
REQUIREMENTS 1. One WIN NT system, two Intel
systems ASAS/WARLORD LIGHT with same ADRG
loaded, one set up with HTML WEB files to post
images and software to annotate NITF images. 2.
Point to Point connectivity between systems (STU
III?) 3. Sample ASRP data (NITF2) 4. Two
operators, approx. 2-5 days setup time, 2 hours
test time (? of msg. /images transmitted)
CONCERNS 1. Can USMTF be created from NITF2?
YES, but not automatic 2. Software for
Semi-Automatic Message Generation? Possible
software modifications needed to MGSs WIN NT
system, ASAS, Warlord light? 3. If ASAS is
UNCLASS, then it can be connected to ASRP LAN. If
not then AirGap.
