Target screener/FLIR system
Abstract
The target screener/FLIR system and its performance are presented in this paper. The Augmented Target Screener Subsystem (ATSS, Autoscreener) was designed and built for the Air Force in 1974. This system operated on imagery data from an AAS-27 sensor, detected man-made objects (MMOs), and cued the operator by displaying a symbol at each sector area (1/16, of a frame) containing MMOs. It achieved 92% probability of detection of MMOs and less than 3% probability of false alarm. This was followed by a program whose objective was to evaluate the feasibility of an Autoscreener/FLIR system in detecting man-made objects and cueing the FLIR operator. The Autoscreener/FLIR system performance in detecting and cueing man-made objects was evaluated. The system achieved 95% probability of detection with 5% probability of false alarm.
