Abstract

In missile applications, decision of optical design is critical for system performance. Many kind of optical solution can be chosen with respect to missile criteria. However, some kinds of limitation coming from system criteria eliminate some of optical design alternative. Also validation of optical design is another subject. Design results from simulation should satisfy reality. Some parameters such as modulation transfer function, noise equivalent temperature difference and field of view should be tested for optomechanical module performance. Also, module range performance capability with automatic target acquisition algorithm match with test results. Starting from the design phase to production results, all process should be tested. To achieve that simulation results from the programs are compared in laboratory environment. Finally laboratory results are compared with missile criteria.
