An output image obtained by the input image interaction with the system chain is supplied too. 2.IRST SYSTEM CONCEPTSFrom the analysis of current IRST systems the START consortium proposed three conceptsl which give greater performance in terms of sensitivity, angular resolution, Field Of Regard (FOR) coverage and shorter update cycles.The first concept, named "The Cupola" in the basic configuration consists of a dual band total staring concept with a Vertical Field Of View (VFOV) of 0o+20o and an Horizontal FOV (IIFOV) of 180' (figure 1). This FOV will be covered by 9 Focal Plane Arrays (FPA) for the 3+5 ¡rm band and 9 FPAs for the 8+I2 þm band. So, each FPA will have a FOV of 20' x 20', using single band optics. In the 3+5 ¡.lm band (1024 x IO24 detector arays) this results in an Instantaneous FOV (IFOV) of 0.34 mrad. The 8+I2 ttm band (consisting of 5I2 x 512 detector arrays) has
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
