Feasibility Study of a FLIR/Imaging Seeker System

Abstract

A three-part study was performed to determine the conditions under which an aircrewman can use a FLIR search set and an imaging seeker. The flight geometry and system characteristics that result in these conditions were also delineated. The three parts of the study included: (1) an analysis of the time available to perform the tasks required of an operator; (2) a review of research on the time required to perform these tasks with a fixed position FLIR; and (3) an experimental evaluation of the time required using a ground-stabilized, slewable FLIR.
