Abstract

Since 1975, the NVL Static Performance Model for thermal Viewing Systems has been the primary tool in government and industry for evaluating thermal imaging system performance. However, advances in thermal imager technology have resulted in FLIR design improvements not specifically included in the NVL Thermal Model. Model development efforts at the U.S. Army Center for Night Vision and Electro-Optics have produced a model that includes features typically found in advanced FLIR systems, in particular sampling and improved vertical resolution. The Advanced FLIR Systems Performance Model (AFSPM) is a documented and validated computer model that predicts noise equivalent temperature, modulation transfer function, and minimum resolvable temperature for many thermal imaging systems.
