Dual Active/Passive Infrared Imaging Systems
Abstract
The potential for developing infrared imaging systems with both active and passive capabilities is examined. Active and passive systems are compared and several approaches to dual active/passive systems are outlined. Baseline systems are postulated and their performance is analyzed. Technology and utilization considerations are discussed.
