VTR
AND
BYPASS
FUNCTION
Surveillance camera video signals can be overidden with
images from theMFSM Video Tape Recorder subsystem. A
bypass switch, 4, allows the target site's currently active
surveillance camera signal to be substituted with arecorded
video signal. The Video Tape Recorder
is
activated with the
VTR pushbutton,S. The VTR
is
actually asolid-state
device which digitizes video signals on up to 38 separate
channels and stores them in avirtual memory. The internal
bubble memory has a 5 gigabyte capacity which is refreshed
every 24 hours. Operation is identical to that
of
an analog
VTR, and the controls associated with the subsystem are
also similar.

TELEMETRY GUIDANCE SYSTEM
The Telemetry Guidance System, 7 , functions
as
follows:
1)
it provides apassive synthetic aperture radar display of all
objects within an immediate range
of
5square miles, and 2)
it integrates outputs from amotion detector, the target site
digital traffic, and feedback from MRUs. Thus on one
monitor aremote operator can simultaneously view afloor
plan rendering
of
the target site, the present location
of
an
MRU, the motion
of
site security personnel, and a
representation
of
which surveillance cameras are active
within the display parameters. Although the maximum
range
of
the TGS is 5square miles, it displays an immediate
range
of
only 200 square yards at atime. The TGS is
automatically linked to the movement
of
any active MRU,
which then causes the display to be scrolled in accordance
with the MRU location.

MOBILE REMOTE UNIT
MRUs can be activated by pressing the MRU pushbutton,
8, or
any
of
the motion control pushbuttons.
It
is
recommended that the TGS is used in conjunction with this
operation, since MRU models compatible with most MFSM
models do not presently feature
an
internal camera.
