Infrared Sensor Simulation (IRSeS) Program.
Abstract
This report serves as part of the deliverables for the Infrared Sensor Simulation contract with MICROM. The contents of this report include a brief description of the accomplishments during the period of the contract, the results of a sensor noise analysis that was conducted, and includes a future growth plan using the tools that have been developed in meeting research requirements with reference to infrared sensors in the indirect fire scenario. Figure 1 shows the relationship and interfaces of the tasks associated with this program. From the beginning of this program a plan was considered for growth which gave guidance to the development of the Infrared Sensor Simulation (IRSeS) Program. In general, the simulation was developed to be as general purpose as possible. The simulation was divided into two parts: (1) the part that represents the sensor scene and sensor motion and (2) the part that represents the signal processing, acquisition algorithms, etc. that would normally be performed by the electronic system or through a computer. Block 2 represents Task 2 that is called 'Identify Significant Noise Sources,' so that the results of this analysis can be incorporated into the sensor model in the simulation. Block 4 represents Task 4, which was to generate waveforms or signal outputs from the simulation.
