AIRSAM: A Tool for Assessing Airborne Infrared Countermeasures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intelligence data is a key component to command and control (C2) decisions. Often intelligence analysts have to provide commanders with timely data in order for them to execute their missions. The Advanced Infrared Countermeasures Assessment Model (AIRSAM) is a tool used by analysts at the National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) to predict the most likely infrared countermeasure (IRCM) response from aircraft when engaged by a threat using electro-optic (EO) and infrared (IR) weaponry. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) develops this tool for NAIC. The goal of this tool is to allow the analyst to perform multiple engagement scenarios involving different geometries and IRCM responses in a relatively short period of time (e.g. one day).

Airborne Deployment of and Recent Improvements to the Viper Counter Sniper System
This paper describes an airborne deployment of the Viper sniper detection and counterfire system and several improvements that were incorporated after a review of comments from users of the fielded systems. The Viper sensor was flown aboard a T-34 aircraft and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Sparrow unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Infrared (IR) and visible video sequences were recorded for p...
متن کاملAssessing polarization effects for the Airborne imaging spectrometer APEX
In the scope of hyperspectral airborne imaging spectrometer (APEX) design activities, the acceptable sensitivity of linear polarization of the spectrometer is analyzed by assessing the amount of polarization of reflected light in the atmosphere-surface system. A large number of calculations is performed for a wide variaty of viewing geometries to study the influences of aerosol models, natural ...

Airborne multispectral digital video imagery was evaluated as tool for surveying kaolin-treated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plots, with emphasis on decision support. Images of experimental plots were obtained on 12 June 2002 and 16 June 2004 with an electronic digital video imaging system acquiring blue (447–455 nm), green (555–565 nm), red (625–635 nm), near-infrared (814–826 nm), and mid-i...
متن کاملThe Role of Background Cloud Microphysics in the Radiative Formation of Ship Tracks
The authors investigate the extent to which the contrast brightness of ship tracks, that is, the relative change in observed solar reflectance, in visible and near-infrared imagery can be explained by the microphysics of the background cloud in which they form. The sensitivity of visible and near-infrared wavelengths for detecting reflectance changes in ship tracks is discussed, including the u...
متن کاملFull-waveform airborne laser scanning as a tool for archaeological reconnaissance
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), also referred to as LiDAR, is a rather new technique to produce dense and high precision measurements of the topography of the Earth’s surface (Ackermann, 1999; Kraus, 2004, 449470; Wehr and Lohr, 1999). The scanning device is typically mounted at the bottom or below an aeroplane or helicopter. For the determination of object points, the laserscanner emits short i...
