van Eijk, A.M.J. (author), Degache, M.A.C. (author), de Lange, D.J.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Efficient military operations require insight in the capabilities of the available sensor package to reliably assess the operational theatre, as well as insight in the adversary’s capabilities to do the same. This paper presents the EOSTAR model suite, an end-to-end approach to assess the performance of electro-optical sensor systems in an...conference paper 2010

van Eijk, A.M.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Electro-optical sensors detect the radiation emitted and/or reflected by objects. Outside the laboratory, where the distance between sensor and object may become large, the intervening atmosphere interacts with the radiation while it propagates to the sensor. The major propagation effects are (1) macroscopic refraction effects, (2) turbulence ...conference paper 2010

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)The knowledge of the atmospheric aerosol characteristics is of great importance for the range performance of Infrared and Electro-Optical sensor systems. The composition, the concentration and the size distribution of aerosols determine their scattering behavior as function of wavelength and thus their attenuation of light beams. When studies...conference paper 2007

TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), de Jong, A.N. (author), van Eijk, A.M.J. (author), Moerman, M.M. (author), Cohen, L.H. (author)The presence of atmospheric aerosols along the line of sight of infrared and electro-optical sensors greatly determines the range performance of these devices. On the one hand the aerosol particles scatter background (including sun) radiance into the field of view of the sensor, on the other hand they contribute to the atmospheric contrast...conference paper 2006
