Research on target scene generation for hardware-in-the-loop simulation of four-element infrared seeker

To satisfy the need of hardware-in-the-loop simulation of four-element infrared seeker, a method of dynamic infrared scene generation based on "direct signal inject" is proposed. Infrared scene signals generated by model calculation are composed of target movement, disturbers launching and complex background of sky or ground. The signals are directly injects into the electrical cabin of seeker for verification and modification of the algorithms of tracking and anti-jamming, thus the complicated target simulator consisting of black body, turntable, and optical system is not required. The dynamic infrared scene generation techniques based on the four-element infrared guidance principle and the modeling of infrared scene are investigated in detail. Moreover, the implementation of the actual system is given to prove the feasibility of the method in practice.
