Abstract

The spectral bandwidth of missile launch detector (MLD) is a key factor that determines the overall performance of the system. For any given scenario the performance of the system is dependent on the atmospheric profile, background clutter, scenario geometry, target signature and many other parameters. This paper will show that the optimal spectral bandwidth for a MLD is scenario dependent. The requirements for a satellite based MLD are different from the requirements for a ground based MLD. Background clutter, signal to noise and atmospheric transmission (using PCMODWIN3) were examined in order to predict the overall system performance. The simulation presented several dependences between the various physical parameters. A statistical model for the background clutter is presented and incorporated into the simulation procedure.
