Simulation System of Atmospheric Transmission Attenuation Effect for Mid-Wave Infrared Radiation

Abstract:

Considering the limitation of maneuverability and real-time performance of the common atmosphere transmission calculation software, a simulation system of atmospheric transmission attenuation effect for mid-wave infrared radiation is designed in this paper. Firstly, the atmospheric transmission attenuation effect for mid-wave infrared radiation is studied. Then an approximate model for atmospheric transmission attenuation effect for MWIR is established based on theoretical approaches and empirical formula. The process of simulation system of atmospheric transmission attenuation effect for MWIR is designed, and corresponding simulation system is implemented. Finally, the comparative experiments with MODTRAN are carried out to validate the performance of the simulation system, and experimental results show that it gives a very good agreement between the calculated results within an attitude of 3 km. In addition, this system has higher performance in real-time compared with Modtran.
