High Performance Real-Time Fusion Architecture

The objective of this effort was to define, prototype and demonstrate an affordable next-generation JDL Level 2 fusion and exploitation architecture called the High Performance Real-Time Fusion Architecture (HPRTF). It was the goal of HPRTF to produce the following: Identification of processing bottlenecks that limit current Level 2 fusion systems from performing in real-time. Development of a hardware requirements trade space for real-time execution and identification of affordable solutions, Definition of an affordable, scalable, next generation fusion architecture, which will support real-time execution of Level 2 fusion systems. Development and demonstration of critical portions of a next generation Level 2 fusion architecture prototype system that demonstrates the capability of real-time execution.
