Effective Use of the Electromagnetic Products of TESS (Tactical Environmental Support System) and IREPS (Integrated Refractive Effects Prediction System)

Abstract

This document gives the basic principles of electromagnetic radiation, its use in object detection systems such as RADAR and FLIR, the effects of the atmosphere upon electromagnetic wave propagation, and provides guidelines in the interpretation and effective use of electromagnetic propagation products available from assessment programs such as the Tactical Environmental Support System (TESS) and the Integrated Refractive Effects Prediction Systems (IREPS). Keywords: Forward looking infrared; Radio detection and ranging (JHD)
