Sensor Performance Optimization Tool (SPOT)

Abstract

BACKGROUND: USCG is in the process of acquiring improved infrared (IR) sensor systems for installation on standard rotary-wing platforms. Historically, IR sensor systems have not been used for primary detection work. Question remains, "How can these high-tech sensors be best employed to assist in obtaining initial detections on hard-to-find targets?"
