Final Tactical Decision Aid (FTDA) for Infrared (8-12 Micrometers) Systems - Manual Version. Appendix B. Insolation and Sky Radiation Tables,

Abstract

Tables are presented for use in determining solar irradiance and sky radiation values needed to calculate maximum lock-on range (MLOR) and maximum acquisition range (AR) from the Manual Version of the IR FTDA. A table for use in determining solar irradiance as a function of terrain elevation is also presented. Errors in computed sea level values of sky radiation as a function of terrain elevation are discussed and found to be small.
