What wavelength should the sensor be tuned to? – Plume signature ? IR, Visible, UV – Hard body heating ? IR, Visible – Atmospheric windows (boost phase) ? Broad band wavelength or discrete capability? – Blackbody radiator – Atomic/Molecular radiator – Sensor resolution is key Missile Defense ? Plume signatures ? Hard body recognition ? Wavelength bands Plume Signatures ? Boost Phase – Huge IR signature from plume – Differentiation with the hard body ? Where is the needle in the haystack? ? Don’t want to shoot down the plume ? Midcourse Phase – Plume expansion – Evasion (liquid systems for maneuvers) – Decoys – Excitation due to AO and Solar UV
