Performance of the Multifunctional CW CO2-laserradar at the TNO-FEL laboratory and during the BEST TWO field test

Abstract

Measurements have been performed with the multifunctional CW(CO2) laserradar system, both at the TNO-FEL laboratory and at the BEST TWO field trial. The BEST TWO (Battle field Emissive Sources Test under European Theatre Weather and Obscurants) trial was held in France, at Camp de Mourmelon, from July 26 to August 10 1990. NATO AC/243, panel 4, RSG 15 arranged this trial to test battlefield effects on long range target acquisition by electro optical systems. This report describes the results and experience gained from these experiments, and gives recommendations for further improvement of the multifunctional laserradar set-up.
