Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of equipment target and scene simulation such as airborne photoelectric detection systems, seekers, photoelectric pods, etc., and particularly to a multi-element photoelectric target and scene excitation device. Background Art
[0002] In modern military, aircraft are the core equipment for transportation, reconnaissance, confrontation, etc. in the battlefield. Airborne optoelectronic detection and confrontation systems use infrared detection and laser tracking technology to scan, detect, track, attack and destroy targets. In the field of airborne detection, optoelectronic detection equipment has developed rapidly. At present, it is fully deployed on fourth-generation aircraft, fifth-generation aircraft and future models. As the "eyes" for discovering air, ground and sea targets, optoelectronic detection systems play a vital role in combat. At present, there are two main ways to obtain infrared scene images of aircraft targets: one is field flight test, using airborne infrared detection system to measure real infrared image data; the other is to use computer simulation method. Field flight test can obtain accurate scene data, but it not only consumes huge manpower and financial resources, but also is limited by the test battlefield environment and weather conditions. It is difficult to obtain infrared images of scenes under various complex conditions and environments. Infrared images in many military applications and scenes are almost impossible to obtain. In these issues, computer simulation modeling technology is more convenient and effective. Establishing a virtual infrared and laser battlefield environment can not only efficiently and realistically simulate infrared scene images of targets and backgrounds under various environments and complex interference conditions, but also serve as an experimental basis for algorithm design and system evaluation.
[0003] The existing simulation technologies are mainly as follows:
[0004] (I) Resistive array infrared scene generation technology
[0005] For example, a dual-channel infrared scene simulator device disclosed in Chinese invention patent application publication number CN110376732A uses a black body to generate a radiation light source, generates an infrared scene through a resistor array component, and projects it to the exit pupil through a telescope group.
[0006] The resistor array assembly is made by micromachining technology. Each resistor in the resistor array assembly is controlled by an independent current source. The current on each resistor is precisely controlled by a computer. According to Joule's law, different currents on resistors will generate different amounts of heat, and each resistor can be heated to a different temperature. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, resistors with different temperatures generate different infrared radiation. The infrared radiation radiated by the entire resistor array forms a two-dimensional infrared image. The continuous change of the resistor temperature generates a dynamic infrared image. However, when the resistor temperature is high, the thermal crosstalk between the resistors will obviously cause the temperature of the resistor matrix to be out of control, thereby affecting the image generation effect.
[0007] According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the resistor array can only produce scenes in the infrared band, which has great limitations.
[0008] (2) Infrared CRT
[0009] In the 1980s, research on infrared scene simulators based on infrared cathode ray tubes (IRCRTs) began. Infrared CRTs are developed from visible light CRTs, with the glass fluorescent screen replaced by a stainless steel cold screen coated with infrared fluorescent material. The working principle of infrared CRTs is the same as that of visible light CRTs, both of which generate dynamic infrared images by scanning the fluorescent screen with a cathode ray tube and controlling the input video signal. The advantages of infrared CRT-type infrared scene simulators are simple structure and high grayscale level of infrared images. The disadvantages are low frame rate, large target screen cooling equipment, low radiation intensity, and difficult to solve the electron beam crosstalk problem. They have been gradually replaced by other types of scene generation devices. Summary of the invention
