Palgrave, Basingstoke ref ref Beynon Davies P. 2010 Significance exploring the nature of information, systems and technology. Palgrave, Basingstoke ref . Any organised collection of symbols and symbol manipulating operations can be considered a datasystem. Hence, human speech analysed at the level of phonemes can be considered a datasystem as can the Incan artefact of the khipu and an image stored as pixels . A datasystem is defined in terms of some data model and bears a resemblance to the idea of a physical symbol system . Symbols within some datasystem may be persistent or not. Hence, the sounds of human speech are non persistent symbols because they decay rapidly in air. In contrast, pixels stored on some peripheral storage device are persistent symbols.

It will provide a Unit of Action UA asset that can be used in Tactical Operations in day or night to detect and locate surface obstacles and recently buried minefields. ASTAMIDS is currently being tested in the MQ 8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle. Detection methods Coherent change detection The ASTAMIDS detects improvised explosives and minefields using two techniques. The first technique used to find explosives is a process known as coherent change detection. Change detection compares two images for inconsistencies. To detect whether or not a change has occurred, two images are taken of the same scene, but at different times. These images are then geometrically registered so that the same target pixels in each image align. After the images are registered, they are checked pixel by pixel. Where a change has not occurred between the two images, the pixels remain the same. When the pixels are different, a change has occurred. ref name sandia cite web url http www.sandia.gov radar sarapps.html title Synthetic Aperture Radar Applications accessdate 2008 05 13 last Mileshosky first Katelyn year 2005 publisher Sandia National Laboratories ref This technique is useful for detecting change, but it does not measure direction or the magnitude of change. One of the major issues in the change detection software is defining what a significant change is. Trees blowing in the wind will sometimes produce a change between the pixels of the two images. This is obviously not a significant change, but the system must be sensitive enough to detect small roadside bombs. These improvised explosives may create a smaller pixel change than trees on a windy ...

A data entry is a specialized component or form of an information processing sub system. Its chief difference is that it tends to perform a dedicated function i.e., its Computer program program is not readily changeable . Its dedicated function is normally to perform some intermediate step of converting input raw or unprocessed data, or semi processed information, in one form into a further or final form of information through a or formatting or re formatting or translation or data conversion before the information can be output from the data processor to a further step in the information processing system. For the hardware data processing system, this information may be used to change the sequential states of a hardware machine called a computer or prior to computers Unit record equipment . In all essential aspects, the hardware data processing unit is indistinguishable from a computer s central processing unit CPU , i.e. the hardware data processing unit is just a dedicated computer. However, the hardware data processing unit is normally dedicated to the specific computer application of format translation.

According to the US Department of Defense, an automatic data processing ADP system is any organized assembly of resources and methods used to collect, process, and distribute messages largely by automatic means. ref DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, Joint Publication 1 02, 19 August 2009 http www.dtic.mil doctrine dod dictionary index.html ref Automatic data processing equipment ADPE is considered the hardware component s of an ADP system. Some agencies including NASA use the term automated data processing system . It is common to refer to ADP systems as anything from a desktop computer or laptop, to a complex network of computer systems in multiple locations. In short, ADP systems perform automatic data processing . History Data Processing has been around for centuries, ever since mankind had a need to process and share information. All the resources and methods available at the time were used. This was, of course, a manual method with a human being making the decisions on how the information a form, a telegraph, etc. was to flow through the established procedure. With the invention of ENIAC , and later UNIVAC I UNIVAC in 1951, data processing as an automatic form emerged. The locations of these computers became known as data processing centers , with the hardware easily being called data processing equipment . The US military adopted the term automatic data processing systems to describe the full array of resources to include the ADPE used to remove the human from the decision. Although information system is used more favorably today, the term ADP system is still found in current documents and manuals.

Orphan date February 2009 A Technical Data Management System TDMS is essentially a Document management system DMS pertaining to the management of technical and engineering drawing s and documents. Often the data are contained in records of various forms, such on paper, microfilms or on digital media. Hence technical data management is also concerned with record management involving purely technical or techno commercial or techno legal information or data. Proper Technical Document Management system Management Systems are essential for the smooth and trouble free management of large organisations which are built around large scale projects involving engineering. For example, TDMS is a vital function for the successful management of Integrated Steel Plants ISP , Automobile factories, Aero space facilities, Infrastructure companies, City Corporations, Research Organisations, etc. In such organisations, Technical Archives or Technical Documentation Centres are created as central facilities, for the effective management of technical data and records. TDMS functions are conceptually similar to that of conventional archive functions, except that the archived material in this case are essentially engineering drawings, survey maps, Specification technical specifications , plant and equipment data sheets, feasibility reports, project reports, operation and maintenance manuals, standards, etc. Document registration, indexing, repository management, reprography, etc are part of TDMS. Various computer software systems are now available in this field. Various kinds of sophisticated reprography equipment, such as document scanners, microfilming and digitization camera units, wide format printers, digital plotters, etc are available now which make the TDMS functions concered with reprography much easier than a few decades ago.
