The future C41 systems, operating at the digital battlefield should be able to transmit high-quality digital live video and imagery through low-bandwidth communication channels. In this paper, we propose low-bandwidth (64 kbps) wireless transmission of TV-class VGA/NTSC-video (221 Mbps-original bandwidth), integrated with still imagery. For the first time, low-compressed MPEG I-frames will be used as high quality still images, representing every I-frame video stream. As a result, we will be able to transmit high quality both temporal and spatial events, while still preserving low-bandwidth transmission, a fundamental goal for video/imagery surveillance at the digital battlefield.
