Development of target acquisition and target recognition algorithms in highly cluttered backgrounds in a variety of battlefield conditions demands a flexible, high fidelity capability for synthetic image generation. Cost effective smart weapons research and testing also requires extensive scene generation capability. The Irma software package addresses this need through a first principles, phenomenology based scene generator that enhances research into new algorithms, novel sensors, and sensor fusion approaches. Irma was one of the first high resolution synthetic infrared target and background signature models developed for tactical air-to-surface weapon scenarios. The development of Irma has culminated in a program that includes not only passive visible, IR, and millimeter wave (MMW) channels but also active MMW and ladar channels. Each of these channels is co-registered providing the capability to develop algorithms for multi-band sensor fusion concepts and associated algorithms. In this paper, the capabilities of the latest release of Irma, Irma 4.0, will be described. A brief description of the elements of the software that are common to all channels will be provided. Each channel will be described briefly including a summary of the phenomenological effects and the sensor effects modeled in the software. Examples of Irma multi-channel imagery will be presented.
