An Objective Summary of US Army Electro-Optical Modeling and Field Testing in an Obscuring Environment.

Abstract

Fifteen electro-optical obscuration models in use within the Army are examined in terms of input and output requirements, and eighteen data bases from major Army obscuration effectiveness tests are examined and summarized. Tables showing side-by-side model data requirements and test measurements on hand are presented along with short descriptions of each model and test. The results are discussed in relation to strengths and deficiencies in current modeling and testing capabilities. (Author)
