Visual evaluation of seeker performance

Laser and microwave guidance seekers donnot have the ability of visualization, therefore during the performance evaluation or bidding test in real environment, it is hard to get intuitive and accurate feedback and positioning for the cases whether the seeker succeeds in intercepting object or not, whether it is stable to track target regularly and some accompanying problems.The visual evaluation system designed could effectively solve the above problems.A tracking platform with simultaneous accompanying seeker was installed by a visible imaging system, which could image the seeker's searching and tracking process clearly and visualize its entire working process; at the same time, the image tracking system and image storage system were used to save key performance parameters.After accomplishing tests, the seeker's output parameters and tracking performance were verified and processed so as to analyze and evaluate the performance parameters of seeker.Dynamic tracking and loading interference source tests verify that, this method could synchronously follow the movement of the invisible seeker by using visual system to achieve the purpose of qualitative observation and quantitative analysis of the seeker tracking process. It could not only overcome the inaccuracy of indoor environment, but also provide a more economical and feasible research means for the performance evaluation of seeker.
