Abstract

Simulations can be used to prepare and evaluate multispectral smoke (e.g. multispectral waterfog) in field trials and to extend the evaluation using a synthetic environment. An adaptation of the models to real time enhances the usability of the models. How such an adaptation can be made is discussed. The discussion is divided into two parts. One part is about real time graphics (which for instance is used when the countermeasure is modeled) and the other part is about image processing in real time (used in models of target tracker). A real time target tracker can be used to model advance algorithms (i.e. multisensor trackers) and also enables the ability to directly use the signal from the sensor during the field trial.
