Abstract

Modeling and simulation of the full electro-optical/infrared observation chain remains an incompletely solved problem, and approximations are made at many stages. Including support for current advances in sensor and imaging-system technology with greater spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution only increases the challenge. In this paper we will present results of a US Navy effort to develop an integrated tool that provides enhanced 3D physics-based EO/IR observation chain modeling support for complex dynamic scenes at hyperspectral radiometric fidelity levels, to support research and development in multiple areas of importance for EO and IR imaging systems. A new prototype software system integrates the US Navy TrueView EO/IR/hyperspectral scene simulation and signature modeling tool with the mature US Army Integrated Performance Model (IPM).
