AMCP 706-127 (W/ CHANGE-1), AMC PAMPLHLET: ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK - INFRARED (IR) MILITARY SYSTEMS (PART ONE) (07-MAY-1973)., This publication is one of a group of handbooks prepared under the auspices of the Engineering Handbook Office, Duke University, as part of the Engineering Design Handbook Series. Presented in this handbook are the basic information and fundamental principles essential to the design and development of infrared systems for military applications. A great deal of information already has been published describing timeproven IR systems and technology; whereas, little or no information has appeared in open literature, such as this, describing the significant recent advances in IR technology and systems development. Therefore, the approach to this topic departs from the time-honored treatment of the subject of infrared technology. No attempt is made to present a complete exposition of the overall infrared discipline, but rather, most of the material is devoted to the significant technological advances of recent years.
