Evaluation of the AN/SAY-1 Thermal Imaging Sensor System

Abstract

The AN/SAY-1 Thermal Imaging Sensor System "TISS" was developed to provide surface ships with a day/night imaging capability to detect low radar reflective, small cross-sectional area targets such as floating mines. Through field testing and laboratory measurements, the performance of the imaging sensors of TISS has been evaluated. The objective of this paper is to present program history, performance evaluation of TISS, and future considerations of the TISS program.
