Research on the intelligent control simulation target with IR imaging target for hardware-in-the-loop simulation test

The intelligent control of simulation target with infrared imaging target in the indoor and outdoor environment can effectively and quantitatively evaluated the parameters such as the minimum resolution temperature difference（MRTD）and spatial resolution of airborne forward looking infrared, infrared detection and tracking, infrared alarm, and etc. This paper focused on introducing the working principles of the intelligent control simulation target of Infrared imaging target, studying the thermal radiation characteristics of the infrared target surface material, analyzing the influences of the infrared radiation energy distribution, and developing the intelligent control simulation target with IR imaging target for hardware-in-the-loop simulation test. The intelligent control simulation target which area was 5 ㎡ and concluded 44 infrared targets including two kinds of infrared targets ,0.25ｍ×0.25ｍ, and 0.25m×0.5m, achieved 1℃～10℃ temperature simulation of target and the background, and temperature control precision better than 0.5℃. Field test requirements were achieved by actual test.
