| Developing such technology for automotive use has entailed overcoming three challenges: making low-cost packaging for each compression and decompression channel; achieving a transmission delay time of less than 30 milliseconds for surveillance cameras used when the vehicle is being driven; and achieving clear reproduction of letters and lines on images transmitted for car navigation systems. To estimate the effectiveness of the effects in such cases, we employ, as combat information indicators, the "information delay time" (for conventional EW equipment) and "information delay time owing to the disabling of the EF" (caused by weapons and EW assets). Sometimes, callers will abandon as soon as the delay announcement plays, and others will abandon further into the delay time, depending on their tolerance levels for queuing. |
