Abstract
Helicopter stabilization-aiming system is librated strongly because of the strong libration resulted by the engine and airscrew during the helicopter flight, which affect seriously the viewing distance of the electro-optical system.a method of measuring dynamic MRTD of infrared imaging system is advanced in this paper, the experimental installation is designed and developed, The libration of helicopter stabilization and aiming system is simulated by experimentation, and in order to get the MRTD of infrared imaging system under libration, the experimental data is analyzed by image processing and statistical methods. Experimentation result shows that measurement of dynamic MRTD can be achieved commendably utilizing the advanced method and experimental facilities, which establishes basement for estimating the viewing distance effect from libration in the laboratory.
