Near-Infrared Reflectances of Naval Aircraft Surfaces and Coatings

Abstract

A measurement program was conducted to obtain information on the near-infrared reflectance of surfaces and coatings commonly used in modern high- speed naval aircraft. Measurements were restricted to normal incidence and near- normal reflection, the 0.7-micron to 1.2-micron band, and illumination by xenon discharges. Miscellaneous surfaces such as desert soil and concrete buildings were also examined.
