Problems in the integration of infrared line scanners in high-performance aircraft
Abstract
Infrared line scanners are used to obtain a thermal image of the area overflown by an aircraft. Problems regarding IR reconnaissance systems are related to questions of installation in the aircraft, window design, the occurrence of vibrations, temperature limitations, electromagnetic compatibility, and the adaptation of the sensors to the characteristics of the aircraft avionics system. An optimal integration involves a suitable reduction of the performance-reducing perturbation factors considered.
