A New Theory for Image Formation with Quasi-Homogeneous Sources and Its Application to the Detection and Location of ICBM Launches

Abstract

A new theory describing image formation with three dimensional, quasi homogeneous primary sources is developed for application to the problem of detecting and locating ICBM launches. The theory is used to compare telescopes and interferometers that have been suggested for the in Brilliant Eyes systems.
