User's Manual for Estimating Target Acquisition Range When Employing TV Sensors

Abstract

A user's guide for estimating the maximum acquisition ground range from TV sensor to target by a manual method is presented. The guide includes background information on visual contrast transmittance, a sample maximum ground range sample worksheet, and direction on how to use it. This document also includes tables of reflectance values and many other aids needed to complete the worksheet. Finally, the technical note contains 360 pages of contrast transmittance charts plotted by ground range and flight altitude.
