RADIOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS OF MUZZLE FLASH. VOLUME 1. PROGRAM DESIGN AND PROCEDURE

Volume I begins with a description of the design of a program to measure the radiation from weapon muzzle flash in the spectral region from 0.8 to 5 micro meters. Instruments designed to measure the spectral radiant intensity and spectral radiance of these phenomena in narrow spectral bands are described. A discussion of the calibration techniques used to quantify accurately and precisely the results from the instruments is also included.
