Military and Aerospace
From the smallest measurement device to a full multi-element scanning radar system for improvised explosive device detection, the military depends more than any other sector on signal processing. The applications are wide and varied ? here we list but a few.
- Sniper detection
- Demining
- Improvised explosive device detection
- Encryption/Decryption
- Radar (many types)
- Sonar (many types)
- Fire control
- Avionics
- ESM
- ECM
- ECCM
- Communications EW
- Smart sensors
- Sensor fusion
- Voice processing and intelligence
- Sigint
- C4ISR
- Flight control
- Image processing
- Autonomous vehicles (land, sea, air)
- Tele-robotic vehicles (video compression)
- Smart weapons
- LADAR
- Future camouflage
As you can see, this list is long and varied. From small signal processors improving a laser sight to large autonomous vehicles with multi-LADAR sensors, the military totally relies on DSP.
