Target simulators

Inframet offers six target simulators: Simag, Simat, Simit, Sim780, Sipek, and Suvir. There are significant differences between offered target simulators when comparing simulated scenario.

Smag projects projects complex shape images of airborne/space targets like aircraft, helicopters or asteroids: targets of complex shape and non-uniform radiation intensity. Other simulators projects images of simple shape targets (rhombus, pinhole) of uniform radiation intensity.

Simat projects image of two dynamic targets of regulated size, radiation intensity/spectrum and angular position that are located at quasi uniform background.
Simit projects image of one static primary target and up to four dynamic secondary targets of regulated size, radiation intensity/spectrum and angular position.
Sim780 is a simplied version of Simit. Number of secondary targets is limited to one.
Sipek simulator projects image of a dynamic target moving along a circle of requlated diameter.
All these four target simulators simulate positive contrast scenarios: bright target/targets on a dark backgound emitting light in infrared range. In contrast the last simulator - Suvir- projects fused two images: 1)typical positive contrast scenario: bright emission target in infrared range (mostly in MWIR band) located on dark/cold background, 2)negative contrast scenario: dark non emission target located on bright emissive background in UV range.
