State-of-The-Art Reports on Infrared Technology
Abstract
State-of-the-Art Reports (SOARs) are detailed treatises summarizing the current status of research, development and technology in military infrared and electro-optical systems. These systems are essential for surveillance, pilotage, target acquisition, precision guidance, night vision and a number of other applications germane to survival and success on modern air, land, sea and space battlefields. SOARs provide timely, up to date information on specific warfare technologies to system designers, planners and other executive elements within the military and aerospace communities. Of specific value is critical information relevant to the acquisition of IR/EO systems for inclusion into the operational inventory. Knowing the current state of research and development is crucial to prudent weapons procurement decisions. ERIM proposes herein to conduct state-of-the-art reviews on four IR/EO technology areas critical to military superiority in the strategic and tactical areas: Focal Plane Arrays, Infrared Search and Track Systems (IRST), Forward Looking Infrared Systems (FLIR) and Signature Simulation and Modelling.
