Terry Turpin is the Real Deal 7-Feb-12 06:23 pm
You old heads read this before but any new comers should read this Gilder article on Terry Turpins time at the NSA and Essex (Sold to Northrop)

Turpin processes images in real-time that take 20 engineers 6 months to process at Raytheon (RTN) or Lockheed (LMT). And he does it in a device about the size of a shoebox rather than on a room-sized supercomputer. A shoebox fits on a plane or missile. Until Essex, all radar imagery processed in real-time was done in 2-D, with 3-D left to the domain of science fiction writers. It certainly looks like science fiction on Turpin’s LCD. Only it’s real. The difference is eye-popping. To my untrained eyes, a 2-D radar picture of a tank looked like, well, lines. Tell me I was looking at a building or a school bus and I’d agree. Now, rotate the image in 3-D and it not only looks like a tank, it looks as if an artist drew it. After wasting hundreds of millions on large defense contractors, the military finally went to Terry and now has 3-D radar working operationally, “saving lives” and “taking the junk out of the sky to find the missile,” as the feisty Moodispaw puts it. With the surface penetrating technology of SAR (synthetic aperture radar), Terry can find bombs inside of buildings and caves. Radar technology currently used in warfare operates in a single waveform because it is easy to process. Unfortunately, it is also easy to jam. Terry is taking care of that with his advanced optical processor for missile defense.

Yes, Terry Turpin is the real deal, not just some smuck spouting off gibberish.
