A unified taxonomic approach to the laboratory assessment of visionic devices

摘要

The increased usage of visionic devices necessitates the development of a unified approach to testing and evaluation of such devices. A NATO working group was established to achieve this goal. This paper describes a taxonomy to classify a given visionic device (based on optical design and display type) and to recommend specific test parameters that should be measured to ensure planned operational performance is delivered in the final product.
