Abstract

Manned reconnaissance flights have been driven down to the lowest possible altitudes. Usually airborne optical sensors have less coverage when they are used at extremly low altitudes. Therefore an additional oblique viewing capability is mandatory. Infrared linescanners used during the past 20 years are restricted in their field of view, as well as in resolution at low altitudes and high speeds. Since scan angles of only 120 degrees had been achieved, the resolution presently reached at 200 ft altitude was good enough to identify the target or even to analyze the imagery.
