Here's a practical, non-theoretical introduction to the principles, applications and benefits of multi-sensor technology used in smart weapon development, surveillance systems, and an increasing variety of non-military applications. This book provides a broad overview of MMW (millimeter-wave) and IR (infrared) sensor constraints, design principles, system alternatives and targeting applications, and is unique in its coverage of integrated MMW and IR multisensor design. Drawing on extensive professional experience in the design of fire-and-forget weapon systems, the author describes the operation, tradeoffs, clutter scenarios, performance measures, and signal processing techniques applicable to passive and active MMW and IR sensors. You learn how target detection, even in high-clutter background, and identification of atmospheric and land-based features can be greatly enhanced by combining data from selected multiple sensors.
