Abstract:

The purpose of this manual is to introduce the contents and operation of the Integrated Refractive Effects Prediction System, Personal Computer Version 2.0 IREPS PC-2.0. IREPS is a system designed to assess the electromagnetic propagation effects of the lower atmosphere on radar, electronic warfare, communication, and weapon guidance systems. The IREPS models account for effects from optical interference, diffraction, tropospheric scatter, refraction, and evaporation and surface-based ducting under horizontally homogeneous atmospheric conditions.
