Abstract
The search strategy in field-of-regard infrared target acquisition is considered. Three methods of choosing the sequence of fields-of-view t o be searched in the field-of-regard are considered: random, 'windshie ld-wiper' and 'typewriter'. The effect of the speed of the scan on the blurring of the target image is considered. The results are used to p redict the performance of actual military systems.
