Abstract

This work reports on the results of shore-based maritime environment and shipboard at-sea testing of the Shipboard Panoramic Electro-Optical Infrared (EO/IR) Cueing and Surveillance System (SPECSS) developed under an Office of Naval Research (ONR Code 31) Future Naval Capabilities program. The key technology enablers for the system are 25 Megapixel mid-wave infrared (MWIR) cameras that utilize III-V strained layer superlattice nBn detectors, and highly-parallel detection processing on the latest commercially available graphic processing units (GPUs). The effects of the maritime atmospheric and background conditions, as well as ship motion and line of sight stabilization, on the performance of the system will be discussed. Demonstration of highly accurate angular target cueing to other high resolution sensors will be presented.
