Detection Range Probabilities of Passive Infrared Systems for the North Atlantic

Abstract

In this report the probabilities of extinction of infrared radiation in the atmosphere, range probabilities for target detection by passive infrared surveillance systems are presented. The geographic area covered is the North Atlantic. The two major atmospheric infrared windows, the 3 to 5 and the 8 to 12 micrometer bands, are considered. The results allow to predict and compare readily the performance of detection systems.
