Research abstract
PRA PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN EFFICIENT, FLEXIBLE SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR EVALUATING REPRESENTATIONS OF BACKGROUND CLUTTER, TOGETHER WITH REALISTIC ATMOSPHERIC VARIABILITY. THIS MODEL WILL USE A COMBINATION OF EXISTING BACKGROUND DATA BASES AND ALGORITHMS, COMBINED WITH NEW INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TOWARD (I) THE MODELING OF RADIATIVE LOADING, (II) FORWARD SCATTERING INTO THE SENSOR APERTURE, AND (III) THE TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL ATMOSPHERIC CHARACTERISTICS. PRA'S EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN WORKING WITH BACKGROUND CLUTTER DATA BASES AND VARIOUS CHARACTERIZATIONS INSURES THAT THE MODEL WILL CONTAIN THE COMBINATION OF PHENOMENOLOGY AND EMPIRICISM NECESSARY TO REPRESENT THE THERMAL CLUTTER APPROPRIATELY.
