The Integrated Launch and Recovery Television Surveillance (ILARTS) System is used aboard U.S. aircraft carriers to provide aircraft landing information. The images are used to supplement the LSO's view during landing information. The images are used to supplement the LSO's view during landing operations. In addition, recorded imagery is used during pilot de-briefings and accident investigations. Operational requirements of the system are analyzed. The results of a vendor camera survey are summarized. Recommendations are made for modifying the system specification without loss of performance. The possibility of replacing visible light cameras with FLIRs (forward look infrared) is examined. Methods for quantifying and reducing blooming are discussed. Keywords: Low light level imaging, Blooming, Surveillance systems, Landing aids, ICCD, SIT, Cameras, ILARTS, FLIRS, Military intelligence, Electrooptics. (jg)
