Abstract
The requirements of several target and background situations for a specific target projector system are examined to determine how to present the proper output to the system under test. Consideration is given to both a uniform cold (high altitude) background and a warmer (low altitude) varying background. Target requirements took into account high and low altitude, single or multiple angles, exhaust plumes, and possible countermeasures. It is recommended that a separate, special purpose simulator based on a single mirror for uniform cold backgrounds should be built for limited but important situations. A surface that provides radiation only by reflection using a very cold radiator is proposed for radiative transfer. The very cold radiator contributes only a designed amount of radiation controlled by baffling.
