An investigation has been performed to review an | |
extensive number of technical reports, papers, and books | |
and then to produce a manual for obscurant community use. | |
The title of the assemblage is the Battlefield | |
Environment Obscuration Handbook and is composed of data, | |
models, and other information on the performance of | |
visible and infrared sensors and imaging devices under | |
battlefield conditions characterized by various kinds of | |
environmental obscurants. Included in the Handbook are: | |
natural obscurants such as rain, snow, haze, and fog as | |
well as obscuring materials which arise from | |
anthropogenic sources. The latter include smoke and dust. | |
The data presented are in the form of spectral | |
attenuation coefficients, production rates, precipitation | |
rates, and various other forms for use in models or | |
analytical studies. Also included in the Handbook are the | |
results and description of field tests related to | |
battlefield obscurants and sensor performance test data. | |
A list is provided of the basic input and output | |
parameters for the mathematical models included in the | |
Handbook. Classified and unclassified material were | |
reviewed for information to be included in the Handbook. | |
As a result, there are two large parts of the Handbook. | |
This one contains the unclassified sections of the | |
Handbook in a loose-leaf form for the easy inclusion of | |
additional information as it becomes available. The | |
classified version contains sections and subsections | |
which have classified and unclassified information. The | |
information contained here is not to be considered | |
conclusive since it is a result of a period of research | |
conducted and completed in an area where results and | |
findings are still emerging. | |
