Abstract

The RF-LLK optoelectronic active-passive system is intended for obtaining and forming passive IR brightness images (wavelength range 8-14 µm) and laser brightness and range images (working wavelength 1.54 µm) of the background-and-target situation. Flight testing showed high information content of the combined images of the passive IR and laser (brightness and range-measuring) channels.
