STAR-VUE: A tactical ice navigation workstation
Abstract
Downlinks to carry airborne SLAR and SAR data to vessels in Arctic ice fields were developed. Data transmitted from the aircraft are automatically recorded on disk. The system allows the recall of current or previous radar imagery for display on a high resolution monitor. With the aid of a trackball, any section of the main image may be displayed in an expanded form. The selected partial display may be output to a hardcopy device if a permanent record is required. The trackball controls all operations, thus no keyboard operations are required. The system is intended to be used by a person with no previous exposure to computer systems.
