Ground Station Hardware
• Same as Airborne Processor except– No Mercury Vantage 7410– No frame grabbers– External Disk Enclosure
• Approach provides back-up capabilities for PC hardware
• Provides non-realtime execution of Airborne Processor algorithms

External Drive Chassis
• Ground Station External Drive Chassis– Supports up to 4 drives– Two 200 GB Hard Disks installed
• 400 Gbytes

Playback Software
• Allows the operator to play back the data collected during a flight– Scenes are loaded from disk– Based on the NRTP developed for NRL– Same algorithms used on the Airborne
Processor – Allows the operator to adjust
parameters• Determine optimal settings for specific
missions

Data Conversion
• The Ground Station will have utilities to convert the collected imagery into standard formats– NITF (National Imagery Transfer Format, the
standard DoD format), – STANAG 7023 (a standard NATO format)– HDF (Hierarchal Data Format, used in
scientific processing)– ENVI/IDL compatible formats.

Geo-Rectification Utility
– Uses the 100 Hz navigation data and digital terrain models to create spatially accurate representations of the ground imaged by the sensor. • Corrects for variations in the aircraft
attitude that result in the sensor imaging off-nadir.
– Roll, Pitch, and Yaw
• Corrects for terrain variation (elevation)• Corrects for variations in altitude.

ARCHER Concept of Operation
• Pre-Flight operations– Install two 200 Gigabyte disks for current
flight– Select a profile
• Collection of system parameters
– Enter mission name– Initialize system– Calibrate sensors– Enable airborne processing
![Page 51: Welcomes the Civil Air Patrol Naval Research Laboratory Air Force Research Laboratory U.S. Coast Guard.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033101/56649e5f5503460f94b59740/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Concept of Operation (cont.)
• Flight operations– View Hyperspectral and Panchromatic displays
• Hyperspectral displayed full res• Decimated Pan displayed
– View detections and associated full resolution pan chips
– Select detections for matched filtering• Maximum of 20 simultaneous matched filters
– Select regions in the pan image to display as full resolution pop-ups

Concept of Operation (cont.)
• Post-Flight– Remove the two 200 Gigabyte disks– Install into the Ground Station for post-
flight analysis.– Playback the flight– Investigate impact of parameter changes– Save new parameters as a new profile– Copy the data to Ground Station storage
