The objective of the infrared search and track (IRST) program is to develop demonstration hardware which will be capable of long range detection and tracking of air targets in an airborne environment. This paper describes each of the major subsystems of the IRST equipment, which comprises the pointing system, the thermal imaging systems and the signal processing system. The various modes of operation are outlined which provide the capability to search for, detect and track multiple targets; to display imagery of a selected target and to provide passive ranging information. The equipment will be flown in an experimental Tornado aircraft and the installation and proposed trials are also described. A description of the ground proving equipment is also included.
