Research abstract
DEVELOPMENT OF A PROPAGATION CODE TO DEAL EXCLUSIVELY WITH IR PROPAGATION IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE AIR-SEA INTERFACE AND DESIGN OF AN EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM TAILORED TO TESTING AND VERIFYING THE CODE IS PROPOSED. BESIDES ACCOUNTING FOR REFRACTION AND ABSORPTION, THE CODE WILL EMPLOY AN ADVANCED METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE EFFECTS OF TURBULENCE.EXISTING, PROVEN MODELS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE USED TO THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE EXTENT. THE PROPOSED EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM WILL USE A VERTICAL STACK OF INTENSE IR POINT SOURCES TO PROBE THE ENVIRONMENTS OVER WATER RANGES. IMAGES OF THE IR SOURCES WILL BE RECORDED AND ANALYZED FOR ATTENUATION, MEAN REFRACTION, WANDER, AND BREAKUP. A DIRECTMEASUREMENT OF THE POINT SPREAD FUNCTION IS PROPOSED.
