Preliminary Analysis of Automatic Scene Correlation Between Spectrally Non-Compatible Imagery.

Abstract

A concept which might be utilized in the development of a modern attack helicopter weapon system could combine a target acquisition system and air-launched terminal homing missile to provide the capability for long range target engagement. If a laser semi-active system is employed, continuous laser designation would be required from missile launch to impact. This would increase the helicopter exposure and vulnerability to anti-aircraft weapons. (Author)
