Key considerations in infrared simulations of the missile-aircraft engagement

Foreign lawyers practising national law: temporary counsel in small jurisdictions

“…In 2012 Deemster Doyle considered, drawing on UK cases, that the essential question in relation to equality of arms was whether the alleged inequality of arms was such as to deprive the litigant of his right to a fair trial. This did not require, for instance, that counsel on both sides should be QCs (Willers [2012] at para. 74), or that a financial imbalance between the parties should be addressed through licensing (Willers [2012] at para.…”

“…This did not require, for instance, that counsel on both sides should be QCs (Willers [2012] at para. 74), or that a financial imbalance between the parties should be addressed through licensing (Willers [2012] at para. 115).…”

“…Equally, an application may be categorised as premature, for instance during committal rather than a full criminal trial, because it is not possible to show a relevant factor, such as the unusual length of the criminal proceedings (Binford Pharmaceuticals [2006]). Correct timing can be important, as an unsuccessful applicant will not normally be allowed to bring a second application, unless circumstances have changed, or fresh evidence is available (Willers [2012] at para. 78).…”

High-accuracy infrared simulation model based on establishing the linear relationship between the outputs of different infrared imaging systems

“…The most widely used way is based on the temperature prediction technique, which is often adopted in the commonly used infrared scene simulation software. For example, SE-WORK-BENCH-IR [6,7], DIRSIG [8,9], OSSIM [10,11] and CAMEO-SIM [12,13] predict the temperature of the scene according to heat transfer theory, which considers the complex interaction of atmospheric effects, local meteorological conditions, solar load, temperature of the scene, emissivity of the scene, look angle, sensor location, and sensor spectral characteristics [14,15]. Another way is based on temperature inversion technique, which inverses the temperature of the scene based on the output of existing infrared imaging system (EIIS) according to the radiation transfer theory [16].…”

Aircraft plume infrared radiance inversion and subsequent simulation model

“…Some of the key considerations in an imaging infrared simulation of a missile-aircraft engagement are the radiometric accuracy and fidelity of the geometrical and spatial texture of the aircraft or countermeasure being simulated 1 . The key objective in the target identification process of a missile is to classify objects into targets and non-targets.…”
