Naval Threat Countermeasure Simulator and the IR_CRUISE_Missiles Models for the Generation of Infrared (IR) Videos of Maritime Targets and Background for Input into Advanced Imaging IR Seekers

摘要

A new hardware-in-the-loop modeling technique was developed at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for the evaluation of IR countermeasures against advanced IR imaging anti-ship cruise missiles. The research efforts involved the creation of tools to generate accurate IR imagery and synthesize video to inject in to real-world threat simulators. A validation study was conducted to verify the accuracy and limitations of the techniques that were developed.
