SHARP
Shared Reconnaissance Pod
SHARP is a multi-functional reconnaissance pod adaptable to several airborne
platforms for tactical manned airborne reconnaissance. Capable of simultaneous
airborne and ground screening, the SHARP system is significantly improving the
US Navy's ability to rapidly gather, exploit, and disseminate tactical imagery.
Recent innovations in the SHARP program include the development of the SHARP
Archive Station (SAS), which provides the capability to read data from SHARP
Digital Storage Cartridges (DSC), write it to archival storage, and place the
data from this archival storage back onto DSCs, and the development of the SHARP
Sensor Data Simulator (SDS), which receives raw data via FTP from another drive
on the network or from a CD, packetizes the data and converts it to CDL format.
Both the SAS and the SDS produce data that aids in training, testing and operational
verification.
