OPTIR II.

Abstract

The report documents the second generation version of the OPTIR Code - OPTIR II. The effort is aimed at establishing the basic physical principles underlying the widespread, long term optical/infrared radiation observed following atmospheric nuclear detonations. The results of such studies are crucial to the design and evaluation of optical surveillance, detection, discrimination, tracking and homing systems and future laser communication systems, all of which must be able to function in a nuclear environment.
