Influences of the Atmospheric Composition on Infrared Radiation Transmittance Proceedings Article Hilário, Leandro Richard; Faria, Lester Abreu; Nohra, Luis Felipe Moura; dAmore, Roberto Resumo | Links | BibTeX | Tags: operational doctrine development @inproceedings{Leandro2012operationalb, The technological advances and developments witnessed in recent decades in Electronic Warfare have enabled the production of weapons increasingly accurate and lethal. Amongst all of them, the IR weapons have proved to be of particular interest, once they are passive artifacts and have high efficiency against radiating targets. However, the radiation emitted by a target is subject to the propagation laws through the atmosphere, which directly impact on its detection and efficiency. In this paper it is investigated the way how the concentration of different components present in atmosphere influence the atmospheric transmittance of infrared radiation. Simulated/prospective results based on different compositions of the atmosphere allow analyzing different critical operational scenarios in Brazil, which were chosen based on the higher influence of each one of the analyzed atmospheric gases. Despite of the qualitative analysis, the results show a great potential for application of these concepts and tools in doctrinal development of combat techniques by the BAF, requiring however a more detailed analysis for specific actual applications, when must be considered the specific atmosphere and the detector of the operational scenario. |
