Abstract

This paper reviews some of the technologies associated with evolutionary improvements in imaging infrared seeker designs and predicts technology performance into the future. The impact of technology advances is shown for several components of the missile system, including: dome, optics, motion stabilization, focal plane arrays, analog-to-digital conversions, and computer processing speed.
