Abstract :
Methods for achieving accurate radiometric calibration of thermal imaging test equipment, using a combination of measurement technique and closed-loop control of thermal source radiance are presented. These and other advancements are to be implemented in the Navy´s consolidated automated support system (CASS) electrooptical subsystem (EOSS)
