Abstract

Military infrared devices are vulnerable to a variety of countermeasures which must be qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated to assure effective application of the systems. Because of the high costs of field testing this equipment, attempts to create various environments for simulating battlefield conditions have evolved. We report on progress with a shortened real-world simulator and an instrumented field van used to provide validating real-world data. Both facilities are being used in the presence of obscuring aerosols to study the behavior of infrared imagers in the 2-14 micrometer bands. We discuss the capabilities of the facility and the nature of the measurements involved.
