14 Modelling and Simulation Computer Simulation Laboratory (Coverage Diagram) Engagement Range Baseline (No-CM applied) Aircraft azimuth
15 For flares, once the IR seeker is seduced, it tends to follow the flare outcome is generally hit or miss Modelling and Simulation Computer Simulation Laboratory Interpreting Results usual hit-miss (flare view) is not adequate for analysing DIRCM performance For DIRCM jamming: - Interaction between perturbation of the IR seeker & missile performance - Thus, Computer simulation is only reliable way to analyse DIRCM jamming Miss distance embodies time to breaklock and continued jammer efficiency in deviating threat from target. Graded miss outputs for computer simulation

26 Under Pinning Research OSAR Mapping (3) Target Optical Device under Test on Pan and Tilt Stage Computer to control Mirror A, pan and tilt stage, and record data OSAR is the result of scattering of IR by the imperfections in optical elements in an optical system Mirror A Laser Attenuator Lens Spatial Filter Pin Hole Detector Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror NB: Beam Splitter removed for OSAR Measurement OSAR effects govern the ability of the jamming laser to enable jamming pulses to reach the detector to create false targets or other aberrations with off-axis energy Optical Scattering and Reflection OSAR measurements/maps are important in verifying OSAR models, which are critical in obtaining the correct seeker response to infrared jammers
27 Under Pinning Research Retro-reflection(4) Retro-reflection is predominantly due to specular reflection from the focal plane relies on a semi-reflective surface in or close to the focal plane ( IR seekers from a reticle, detector or detector array). Can be characterised by the Optical Cross Section (OCS) OCS (σ O )is analogous to Radar Cross Section (RCS) σ O = Geometric cross section x reflectivity x losses x directivity. Simplest expression is for a "top hat" profile σ O 4. π. A. r. t = ω 2 O O O B ω B Cross section (A O ) Reflectivity r O Transmissivity t O A O r O t O ω B is optical area is reflectivity is optical transmission is reflected beam solid angle Real beam profiles depend on optical configuration, Top Hat and Gaussian profiles are idealisations
28 Under Pinning Research Retro-reflection (5) Retro-reflection is due to reflections in the focal plane. For infrared seekers this is generally a reticle, for a "simple detector" system Retro-Reflection Optic Axis Target Optical Device under Test on Pan and Tilt Stage Computer to control Mirror A, pan and tilt stage, and record data It generates a strong reflection back along the incident beam and hence has the potential to identify the seeker type and modulation characteristics, range and range rate. Mirror A Attenuator Laser Lens Beam Splitter Spatial Filter Pin Hole Detector Spiricon Camera Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror This provides a basis for selecting a more optimal and hence more potential to monitor jammer effects and provide timing for laser dazzle or damage pulses Optic Axis Retro-reflection
