Imagery archiving system
William Gesualdi · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1999
Solid state recorders have focused attention on the problem of long term data storage for reconnaissance systems. Storage was never viewed as a problem as long as the cost of storage remained relatively low. While there are many advantages to a completely digital/solid state imagery collection system, it is too expensive to use as a generic longterm storage medium.
