TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author), de Jong, A.N. (author), de Leeuw, G. (author)This paper concerns the effect of scintillation on the detection range of infrared sensors, where frame rate appears to play an important role. During EOPACE scintillation measurements were carried out over the Monterey and San Diego Bay. For this purpose 2 kinds of sources were used, either a source, modulated with 1000 Hz, or a DC searchlight...conference paper 1997

(author)An analysis is presented showing the effects of refraction, aerosol extinction, and molecular extinction on transmission measurements obtained during the EO Propagation Assessment in Coastal Environments (EOPACE) campaign carried out in San Diego during March and April 1996. Infrared transmission measurements were made over both a 7 km path (mid...conference paper 1997

(author)An analysis is presented showing the effects of molecules and aerosols on atmospheric transmission data obtained during the Electro-Optical Propagation Assessment in Coastal Environments (EOPACE) campaign carried out in San Diego during March and April, 1996. Mid wave infrared transmission was measured over San Diego Bay along a 14.9 km path and...conference paper 1997

TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author), de Jong, A.N. (author), Winkel, J. (author)The range performance of IRST sensors is partly determined by the propagation of the atmosphere. For low altitude targets the boundary layer of the atmosphere introduces a variety of effects due to inhomogeneities, for which model predictions are not yet well validated. For this reason NATO Research Study Group 5 on "Maritime Infrared Target and...conference paper 1997
