Introduction of infrared countermeasures in closed-loop simulations

conference paper
One of the TNO missions in support of the Dutch Ministry of Defence is to provide means for the assessment of operational electro-optical system performance in the various theaters.
To quantify the impact of both the environment and actors? intrinsic properties in a maritime scenario, TNO has defined a simulation framework using EOSTAR Pro (Electro-Optical Signal Transmission and Ranging) suite modules to model the incoming radiation on an EO sensor from a scene including targets and background through a propagation medium.
This simulation framework named ISISS (Integrated Scene Image Simulation Server) allows the sensor position and the targets to move in a dynamic way in a 3D scenario with six degree of freedom for the scene elements.
This paper will demonstrate the modular components of ISISS and shows the inclusion of new modules to simulate the launch of infrared countermeasures in a maritime scenario. ISISS generates high resolution images at run time and enables closed loop simulations of sensors (or seeker) approaching target objects.
