Cobra Glint Model AH-1G

Abstract

The report details the development of a computer simulation model of the attack helicopter to predict the visual detectivity of the aircraft by a ground observer due to sun reflections from its windows. In addition, the model was exercised to determine probabilities of detection versus angles of incident sunlight and also used to determine sunshade configuration for reducing reflections.
