Now-term solutions to spatial spectral and temporal IR simulation with Wright Laboratory's Dynamic Infrared Missile Evaluator (DIME)

摘要

The introduction of spatial, spectral and temporal discrimination in IR seekers has greatly increased the level of sophistication required of hardware-in-the-loop test facilities. In the long term, IR scene projectors offer promise of meeting many of these requirements. However, Wright Laboratory's Dynamic Infrared Missile Evaluator (DIME) Facility has ongoing requirements to evaluate state- of-the-art IR seekers. This paper describes reliable and effective techniques integrated into the DIME to meet current requirements for testing seekers with spatial, spectral and temporal discrimination capabilities.
