Book excerpt: The Infrared Sensor Stimulator (IRSS) system will be used to stimulate installed infrared/ultraviolet (IR/UV) electro-optic (EO) sensors undergoing integrated developmental and operational testing. IRSS generates digital IR scenes in real time to provide a realistic portrayal of IR scene radiance as viewed by and IR system under test in a threat engagement scenario. This paper will describe the continuing IRSS development effort including new work completed in the past year. There will be a brief overview of the IRSS subsystems and functions, with emphasis on recent enhancements to its IR modeling capabilities. Specifically, the paper addresses issues involving the integration of three IR models: Spectral In-Band Radiance of Targets and Scenes (SPIRITS), Physically Reasonable IR Signature Model (PRISM), and IR Electro-optical Naval Engagement (IRENE). Also, there will be discussion regarding use of a radiometrically accurate method of employing geospecific material properties in the rendering of background terrain.
