Air Combat Targeting/Electro-Optical Simulation (ACT/EOS).
Abstract
ACT/EOS focused on improving support to users of FLIR weapon systems by developing improved performance prediction capabilities. TASC's role in the ACT/EOS program focused on three activity areas: scene visualization, model evaluation, and atmospheric transmission modeling. TASC developed an interactive scene builder and visualization capability using 3-D terrain and target models. The system relies on output from ACT/EOS physical models including thermal contrast, atmospheric effects, and sensor effects models. TASC developed an assessment plan for evaluating the ACT/EOS physical models through comparison with field data. The plan was used to set up a very successful field experiment. Finally, TASC developed an efficient atmospheric transmission and path radiance interpolation algorithm using MODTRAN to incorporate atmospheric effects into infrared scene visualizations.
