Data analysis systems are provided, especially target imaging and identification systems, which utilize a CAM that associatively stores a plurality of known data sets such as target data sets in a synaptic interconnectivity matrix modeled upon the model of learning of neural networks. In accordance with preferred embodiments the systems are able to identify unknown objects when only a partial data set from the object is available. The system is robust and fast, utilizing parallel processing due to the massive interconnectivity of neural elements so that the image produced exhibits the properties of super-resolution. Since the system is modeled after a neural network, it is fault tolerant and highly reliable.
