Abstract

This paper describes methodology incorporating the MODTRAN infrared propagation model as a player in the Joint Modeling and Simulation System (J-MASS). MODTRAN, developed by the Air Force Geophysics Directorate of Phillips Laboratory, provides a medium resolution model of absorption, scattering, and background IR effects widely used in modeling and simulation projects throughout the Department of Defense (DoD). To be operated as a J-MASS player, the MODTRAN legacy code has been “encapsulated” to implement a standard set of interfaces to the J-MASS Software Structural Model (SSM)
