Research abstract
THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF CLOUD COVER AND OTHER OBSCURANTS UPON SOVIET SATELLITE BASED PHOTO SENSORS DEGRADATION, ATTEMPTING TO DETECT AND IDENTIFY SMALL ICBM MOBILE LAUNCHER SYSTEMS FOR THE PROPOSED SITES. THE EFFORT WILL CONSIDER THE HISTORICAL CLOUD COVER AND OTHER OBSCURANT DATA STATISTICALLY AND USE IT PARAMETRICALLY TO DETERMINE SENSOR DEGRADATION AS A FUNCTION OF THE ABOVE PARAMETERS INCLUDING SATELLITE ALTITUDE AND SENSOR SENSITIVITY AND RESOLUTION CAPABILITY. THE DATA FOR THE PROPOSED SITES WILL BE OBTAINED, COMPILED, STATISTICALLY ANALYZED, PARAMETRIZED AND DATA GAPS FILLED USING EXPERIENCED JUDGMENT. PARAMETRIC STUDY WILL RESULT IN DETERMINING NOT ONLY SENSOR IMAGE DEGRADATION BUT ALSO THE PROBABILITY OF DETECTION AS A FUNCTION OF LAUNCHER INHERENT CONTRAST AND SATELLITE ALTITUDE. THE END RESULT OF THIS STUDY WILL BE TABLES AND FIGURES CONTAINING THE PARAMETRIC RESULTS FOR SENSOR IMAGE DEGRADATION WHICH CAN BE COMBINED WITH SATELLITE INFORMATION CYCLE TIME TO EVALUATE DETECTION/IDENTIFICATION AND DETERMINATION OF LAUNCHER LOCALIZATION PROBABILITY.
