Abstract

SPIRE (Simulation of Passive Infrared Equipment) is a set of computer programs and subprograms for simulating infrared systems which consist of optics, detectors, and signal processing electronics. SPIRE represents in detail the image plane irradiance distribution, integration by the detector array, and subsequent sianal processing of the detector outputs. The simulation of a missile-borne infrared tracker will be described and some conclusions concerning the tracker design and performance will be presented.
