This report gives a methodology for designing an infrared satellite surveillance system for detection of aircraft against a background of the earth. Values for target intensity and background radiance have been assumed, and a satellite focal plane array configuration has been designed. System calculations have been performed and indicate that detection of aircraft against a background of the earth appears feasible. This report contains limited actual data due to its unclassified level.
