Filed:
Aug 10, 1973
Appl. No.:
5/392716
Inventors:
George Sebestyen - Weston MA
Ronald R. Sinclair - Moultonboro NH

Radiation Detection Apparatus

US Patent:
3944167, Mar 16, 1976
Filed:
Aug 24, 1973
Appl. No.:
5/392714
Inventors:
Burton D. Figler - Winthrop MA
Theodore J. Nussdorfer - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Sanders Associates, Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
F11g 700, G01j 120
US Classification:
244 316
Abstract:
A radiation sensor including an inner detector surrounded by an array of outer detectors is employed in radiation tracking apparatus which is capable of tracking a true target in a field of targets which may include a decoy or false target. The apparatus includes a color filter arrangement and a reticle which cooperates to produce pulses of long and short wavelength filtered infrared radiation upon the outer detectors of the sensor. The apparatus includes means for processing the signals produced by the outer and inner detector elements so as to discriminate between true and false targets and cause the tracking apparatus to track a true target.
