Study on techniques of anti-aerosol-interference for active optical target-detection device

Aerosol-interference is a serious interference source for active optical target-detection device (AOTD) when it is used in lower sky or super low sky. When AOTD in a vehicle passes through aerosol, it may be wrong armed, even give out execution signal before right time. In order to increase the ability in aerosol environment, how the AOTD worked and how the aerosol interfered the AOTD were analyzed. It also showed out the techniques of anti-aerosol-interference used in engineering. The general techniques for anti-aerosol-interference were settings of cut-off distance method, weaken methods by optical parts, optical field restraining method, cancellation by symmetric views, setting reference view field, body recognition method, composite with Ka detectors, decreasing the width of transmitted pulse, image recognition method et al. Among these methods, the multimode detection method was a valuable way. Effects of different anti-interference methods were listed, the results shows integrated application of all the methods can increase the ability of AOTD.
