More Book Details

Description of the Book:

An analysis of the potential of using MILES systems for long range gunnery training was performed. The analysis centered on the evaluation of the design equations used for the MILES system design. Experiments were conducted at Kennedy Space Center which showed the MILES propagation equations to be accurate at only short ranges i.e. for distances only up to 180 meters. New math models were developed for the propagation of laser light over the long ranges which would be used in gunnery training. These math models were verified in the Kennedy Space Center experiments. An accurate analysis was also performed on the decoding technique of Binary Union Decoding used in the MILES system. This decoding technique was designed to defeat the laser signal fading effects of atmospheric turbulence. At long ranges the Binary Union Decoding technique proved to be less effective then at short ranges
