Seeing Photons
The Department of Defense recently highlighted intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities as a top priority for U.S. warfighters. Contributions provided by ISR assets in the operational theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan have been widely documented in press reporting. While the United States continues to increase investments in ISR capabilities, other nations not friendly to the United States will continue to seek countermeasures to U.S. capabilities.
The Technology Warning Division of the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Defense Warning Office (DWO) has the critical responsibility, in collaborations with other components of the intelligence community (IC), for providing U.S. policymakers insight into technological developments that may impact future U.S. warfighting capabilities.
To this end, the IC requested that the National Research Council (NRC) investigate and report on key visible and infrared detector technologies, with potential military utility, that are likely to be developed in the next 10-15 years. This study is the eighth in a series sponsored by the DWO and executed under the auspices of the NRC TIGER (Technology Insight-Gauge, Evaluate, and Review) Standing Committee.

Nondestructive Evaluation of Materials by Infrared Thermography
With national trade barriers falling, causing the expansion of the com petitive global market, the question of quality control has become an essential issue for the 1990s. The time where the promise was to replace a product if it does not work seems to have passed; what is more impor tant now is not so much a reduction in what is going wrong but an increase of what is going right the first time (Feigenbaum 1990). This new trend is sometimes referred to as total quality. Among the many advantages ofthis zero-defect manufacturing policy, we can enumerate (Laurin 1990): superior marketability of wholly de pendable products, enormous gain in productivity, elimination of waste ful cost in replacing poor quality work and retrofitting rejected products from the field. Although total quality is a relatively new and attractive concept for mass products such as cars, consumer electronics and per sonal computers, in many fields, mainly aerospace and military, it has been the rule for years because of security reasons.

Introduction to Infrared and Electro-Optical Systems, Third Edition
This newly revised and updated edition offers a current and complete introduction to the analysis and design of Electro-Optical (EO) imaging systems. The Third Edition provides numerous updates and several new chapters including those covering Pilotage, Infrared Search and Track, and Simplified Target Acquisition Model.The principles and components of the Linear Shift-Invariant (LSI) infrared and electro-optical systems are detailed in full and help you to combine this approach with calculus and domain transformations to achieve a successful imaging system analysis. Ultimately, the steps described in this book lead to results in quantitative characterizations of performance metrics such as modulation transfer functions, minimum resolvable temperature difference, minimum resolvable contrast, and probability of object discrimination.The book includes an introduction to two-dimensional functions and mathematics which can be used to describe image transfer characteristics and imaging system components. You also learn diffraction concepts of coherent and incoherent imaging systems which show you the fundamental limits of their performance. By using the evaluation procedures contained in this desktop reference, you become capable of predicting both sensor test and field performance and quantifying the effects of component variations. The book contains over 800 time-saving equations and includes numerous analyses and designs throughout. It also includes a reference link to special website prepared by the authors that augments the book in the classroom and serves as an additional resource for practicing engineers.

Concept Development for Bearing Fault Detection on Water-Cooled Electric Machines Using Infrared
Electric machines (EMs) of electrified vehicle drivetrains can be tested on drivetrain test benches at an early stage of development. In order to protect the EMs from premature damage or failure during testing, monitoring their thermal condition is important. Due to the package requirements of compact and powerful EMs with high-speed requirements and high-power densities, the heat build-up inside the motor during operation is particularly high. For this reason, fluid cooling with heat exchangers is increasingly being used in EMs. The EMs analysed in this work are water-cooled by a cooling jacket. This influences the heat flow inside the machine through heat transfer mechanisms, making it difficult to detect damage to the EMs. This paper presents a novel method for non-destructive and non-contact thermal condition monitoring of water-cooled EMs on drivetrain test benches using thermography. In an experimental setup, infrared images of an intact water-cooled EM are taken. A bearing of the EM’s rotor is then damaged synthetically, and the experiment is repeated. The infrared images are then processed and analysed using appropriate software. The analysis of the infrared images shows that the heat propagation of the motor with bearing damage differs significantly from the heat propagation of the motor without bearing damage. This means that thermography opens up another method of condition monitoring for water-cooled EMs. The results of the investigation serve as a basis for future condition monitoring of water-cooled EMs on powertrain test benches using artificial intelligence (AI).
