Conclusions• Def Stan 00-82 Video interfaces - high quality, low latency.• Cost-effective Def Stan 00-82 implementation.• Middleware – mount & video select approach promising .... tool costs, operating
system overheads & security to be addressed in Land context.• Data Model the major architecture effort .... further work needed.
Modular Sensor System flexibility .......... management of complexity. Sustained technical effort is essential.
Recommendations• Plan for many payload and tailoring possibilities within the Def Stan 00-82
standard.• Lessons learned to be fed into Def Stan 00-82 update.• Continue Data Model development via more formal route.• Update procurement strategies to support subsystem upgrade through-life.
Initiative of VSI should continue.Unique applied research forum separate from programme delivery.
Precise objectives and continuity of funding.
