Electro-Optic Propagation

Abstract

1) The development and testing of a comprehensive infrared and optical propagation assessment model suite for the marine atmospheric boundary layer. 2) The improvement of weather-dependent range predictions for the Target Acquisition Weapons Software (TAWS) in the marine environment by developing a near-field wake effects, by modeling the residual far-wake effects (ship tracks) to provide a means of early detection of ship targets, and by developing algorithms to handle horizontal line-of-sight (HLOS) scenarios to extend the capabilities of TAWS to surface and low altitude situations.
