Optical Signal And Image Processing Research In The Air Force

The Air Force is actively supporting scientific research in optical processing through the award of contracts and grants to university and industrial research laboratories. The overall objective of this Air Force research program is to increase the flex-ibility of optical processors to the point of being able to perform any operation that is suitable for parallel processing. This paper will describe the currently active efforts in this program.
