The ROSCOE Manual. Volume I-1. Program Description

Abstract

The ROSCOE computer code is designed specifically to be the 'laboratory standard' for evaluating nuclear effects on radar and optical sensors. The program provides a means for (1) evaluating radar acquisition, discrimination, and tracking performance in a nuclear environment, (2) determining optical (SWIR) surveillance and tracking performance in the presence of nuclear effects, (3) measuring the degradation of microwave satellite communications systems due to transmission through nuclear disturbed regions, (4) estimating various radar and optical propagation error sources, and (5) computing specific phenomenological data. The ROSCOE documentation consists of a number of volumes; including user manuals (Volumes 1-3), systems code descriptions (Volumes 4, 20, and 21-1), code validation documents (Volumes 6 and 23), and phenomenology code descriptions (all others).
