摘要:
We report a realistic field-performance simulation for a new MWIR camera. It is designed for early detection of missile plumes over a distance range of a few hundred kilometers. Both imaging and radiometric performance of the camera are studied by using real-scale integrated ray tracing, including targets, atmosphere, and background scene models. The simulation results demonstrate that the camera would satisfy the imaging and radiometric performance requirements for field operation.
