Abstract:
AFRL developed Infrared Target-Scene Simulation Software IRTSS as a unit-level through the-sensor infrared scene prediction capability to aid aircrews and mission planners in the employment of Precision Guided Munitions PGMs. The system explicitly models the effects of weather, time-of-day, and mission tactics as viewed through the sensor and displayed on the weapon system display scopes. In addition, weapons system efficiency parameters such as detection and lock-on ranges are produced. AFRL has recently integrated a capability for modeling CCD-treated targets. Many simulation capabilities model CCD signatures, but few model targetCCD treatment interactions. IRTSS actually models the influence the target has on its CCD treatment e.g., high thermal mass target under a camouflage net. This paper presents the preliminary results of an effort using IRTSS to model a particular field-test trial of the JCCD database. Using observed weather obtained through AFCCC and flight path information, IRTSS generated synthetic imagery that was compared to the JCCD mission video. Work ongoing involves using various metrics, human performance models, and photosimulation techniques to determine probability of detection PD for both the IRTSS synthetic imagery and the JCCD database imagery.
