Course Description
Develop the techniques of modeling & simulation of modern electro-optical and infrared systems. These techniques can be applied to systems design, analysis, test and evaluation, and performance assessment. Cover basic EO/IR physics principles, fundamental M&S approaches, methods of modeling & simulating electro-optical systems components and phenomenology (targets, clutter, and propagation), and simulation scenario development.

- Scientists
- Managers
How You Will Benefit
- Identify major signature drivers in each EO/IR waveband
- Understand the modeling & simulation process
- Derive requirements for signature and system models
- Solve the EO/IR signature equation
- Gain expertise in building digital EO/IR models
- Understand the verification and validation process for M&S applications
What You Will Cover
- Digital Modeling and Simulation Fundamentals
- Electro-Optical/Infrared Signature Physics
- Signature Modeling

The Instructors
Michael Cathcart, Georgia Institute of Technology principal research scientist in the Electro-Optics Systems Laboratory, holds a joint appointment with the School of Physics. His research interests include physics-based modeling and simulation of visible and infrared phenomenology for active and passive sensors, target signature computations, electro-optical sensor performance studies, and laser lethality analyses.
Albert Sheffer, senior research scientist in Georgia Research Institute's Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory, has developed modeling and simulation software for EO/IR applications since 1984. He serves as program manager for the GTSIMS Product Line (a simulation environment for IR countermeasure analyses) and plays a key role in developing new simulation capabilities, particularly those related to infrared signature modeling and synthetic image generation.
