Electrooptic Propagation

Abstract

The EO Propagation objectives are threefold: 1) investigate, develop and evaluate ocean and coastal aerosol models and their effects on IR propagation, 2) investigate and develop simple, realistic models for infrared propagation near the ocean surface, and 3) develop, evaluate, and improve software models that assess and predict EO systems performance in marine tactical scenarios. Remote (surface-based and satellite) and in-situ (surface and airborne) sensors are to be used to measure the optical and meteorological parameters from which models of aerosol-size distributions and sky/sea/terrain backgrounds can be developed and evaluated. This involves both the development and evaluation of aerosol/radiance models capable of predicting optical/IR propagation in the marine atmosphere.
