We typically have a variety of equipment that can detect and track targets, and detect and track target quickly and accurately through the exchange of the information between each piece of equipment. These equipments have similar detection area(FOV), but some are different due to the limits of the resolution of the equipments. In this paper, we studied the method of reducing time to search and detect target, and also did the method of tracking automatically it.

An omni-directional, graded-index and textured ZnO nanorods with $MgF_2$ anti-reflective(AR) coating films for the electro optical tracking system(EOTS) by e-beam evaporation method are presented. we achieved that the graded index structure can minimize image tracking interference of EOTS which is comparable to a general AR coating films. Optimized ZnO nanorods with $MgF_2$ AR coating films lead to decreasing Fresnel reflection by gradient refractive index. According to our experiment results, ZnO nanorods with $MgF_2$ AR coating films can be used for various electro optical system to improve the optical performance.

보병이 레이저로 표적을 지시하고 원격사격통제체계가 타격하는 방식의 유무인 복합체계에서 전자광학 추적장비를 통한 표적지시용 레이저 검출은 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 영상기반 코릴레이션 필터를 통해 적외선 레이저를 기존의 색상기반, 기계학습 등의 기법보다 효과적으로 검출하는 방법을 구현하였다. 또한 실험을 통해 주간에는 직사광선 노이즈를 효과적으로 제거하고 200mw 출력의 적외선 레이저를 10-20m 거리에서 검출, 노이즈가 없는 야간에는 100m 이상의 거리에서 안정적으로 검출하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통하여 원격사격통제체계의 전자광학 추적장비를 통한 표적지시 레이저 검출 및 추적 구현의 기반을 마련하였다.

앞으로 개발되는 각종 첨단 무기체계에서의 고도정밀 자동화 추세에 비추어 볼때, 전자광학 추적기(EOTS)는 필수적인 위치를 점하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 국내에서도 EOTS를 사격통제 장비로 채택한 무기체계가 일부운용 및 개발되고 있으나, 그 대부분을 선진기술에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. EOTS는 전자, 신소재, 광학, 컴퓨터 등의 첨단 핵심기술이 복합 응용된 분야로서 우리가 반드시 확보해야할 기술이며, 이에 대한 장기적인 기술육성이 절실히 요망된다

EOTS(Electro-Optical Tracking System) provides stabilized images while tracking a moving target. The key of geo-pointing is the function that fixes EOTS's sight to a specific position(geo-point) throughout aircraft maneuvers. In this paper, a major error source for the geo-pointing is identified as the transport delay of navigation information, and an augmented Kalman filter is designed to estimate the present attitude of aircraft using delayed navigation information. Simulation results including the presented scheme shows that the error due to the information transport delay reduces under half.

The Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) films for the Electro Optical Tracking System(EOTS) by using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(PECVD) method is presented. We achieve that the DLC films can reduce the surface delamination of thermal observation sensor front window due to the high hardness, low friction and chemical inertness which is comparable to a Si film. According to our experiment results, DLC films can be used for various electro optical systems to eliminate surface delamination.

An Electro-Optical Tracking System (EOTS) is an electric optical system with EO/IR cameras, laser sensors, and an IMU. The EOTS calculates coordinates of targets, using attitude and acceleration measured by the IMU. In particular for an armed aircraft, the performance of the weapon system depends on how quickly and accurately it acquires the target coordinates. The IMU should be operated after alignment is complete, to meet the coordinate accuracy required by the weapon system so the initial stabilization time of the IMU should be reduced, by quickly measuring the attitude and acceleration. Alignment is the process of determining the initial attitude by resolving the attitude error of the IMU, and the IMU of mission equipment such as an airborne EOTS, uses velocity matching based on the velocity from GPS/INS for aircraft navigation. In this paper, a method is presented to improve the transfer alignment performance of the airborne EOTS, by maneuvering aircraft and the mission equipment. First, the performance factor of the alignment was identified, as a heading error through the velocity matching model and simulation results. Then acceleration maneuvers and attitude changes were necessary, to correct the error. As a result of flight tests applied to an EOTS on a OOO aircraft system, the transfer alignment performance was improved as the duration time was decreased, by more than five times when the aircraft accelerated by more than 0.2g and the EOTS was moving until 6.7deg/s.

This paper presents a algorithm for automatic target recognition robust to the influence of the flame in order to track the target by EOTS(Electro-Optical Targeting System) equipped on UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) when there is aerial target or marine target with flame at the same time. The proposed method converts infrared images of targets and flames into a gradient vector field, and applies each gradient magnitude to a polynomial curve fitting technique to extract polynomial coefficients, and learns them in a shallow neural network model to automatically recognize targets and flames. The performance of the proposed technique was confirmed by utilizing the various infrared image database of the target and flame. Using this algorithm, it can be applied to areas where collision avoidance, forest fire detection, automatic detection and recognition of targets in the air and sea during automatic flight of unmanned aircraft.
