第一代红外传感器系统已在军用航空电子学系统中得到充分确认。热成象仪和图象识别仪被用于增强视觉,以便在夜间进行高速低空飞行。红外系统被用于行扫描侦察,脉冲激光系统则被用于测距和目标定位。 现有的热成象仪采用光机扫描器和少量红外探测器,因而相对说来比较复杂,而且成本较高。目前的研究目标是生产大型的两维列阵,这种列阵将可以用于生产比较简单和可能比较便宜的高性能系统。在许多情况下,还将可以取消低温致冷的要求。 激光研究已经使人们能够制造对人眼安全而且将能够确定速度和距离的相干激光雷达系统。 目前,这些技术正在一些新的航空电子学系统中进行演示,这些新的航空电子学系统包括将热成象仪同激光定位仪结合在一起的热成象仪机载激光指示器(TIALD)、激光雷达系统如用于测量实际气流速度的机载激光实际气流速度系统(LATA δ)以及用于探测象电力电缆线之类障碍物的通用电气公司航空电子学电缆预警系统(LOCUS)。
The first generation of infrared sensor systems have been fully validated in military avionics systems. Thermal imagers and image recognizers are used to enhance vision for high-speed low-flying at night. Infrared systems are used for line scan reconnaissance and pulsed laser systems are used for range finder and target positioning. Existing thermal imagers use a light machine scanner and a small number of infrared detectors and are therefore relatively complex and costly. The current research goal is to produce large, two-dimensional arrays that will be used to make high-performance systems that are relatively simple and potentially cheaper. In many cases, the requirement of cryogenic refrigeration will also be eliminated. Laser research has enabled one to create a coherent lidar system that is safe to the human eye and will be able to determine speed and distance. Currently, these technologies are being demonstrated in a number of new avionics systems, including the Thermal Imager Airborne Laser Pointer (TIALD), which combines a thermal imager with a laser locator, Lidar systems such as the Airborne Laser Real Air Velocity System (LATA δ) for measuring the actual air velocity and General Electric Avionics Cable Alert System (LOCUS) for detecting obstacles like power cables.
