Air Combat Targeting/EO Simulation Incorporating the Earth Background.

Abstract

This report documents some work toward developing an automated Earth background description and putting it into the Air Combat Targeting/Electro Optical (ACT/EOS) model. Our aim is to show that infrared-based decision aids can be made more accurate by using geographic data sets for terrain type characterization in conjunction with topographic data sets. As an example for digital topography and terrain typing we discuss the digital terrain elevation data (DTED) and a higher resolution Hanscom AFB survey data set. Also described is a methodology for converting rasterized elevation data to a triangular network for perspective viewing.
