This report describes an analysis/simulation methodology used to assess a nominal space-based infrared surveillance architect against a Theater Missile Warning (TMW) mission for two potential theatres of operation. System performance is derived for three generic infrared scanning sensor designs (which were analyzed in parallel for sensitivity, subsystem definition, mass, and power) and parameterized against the potential variations and uncertainties in scene background structure which produce clutter. The results provide insight into the cost, in terms of sensor mass, that is paid for background phenomenology uncertainty.
