Popis:	Basing laser radar systems aboard aircraft provides capability for accurate tracking of ground, airborne, and ballistic missile targets from long range. The atmospheric effects of long propagation paths impact the performance of laser radar systems in two important ways -- molecular and aerosol extinction and optical turbulence. This paper provides quantitative assessment of the impact of these effects for laser radar wavelengths beyond 1.4 microns. The treatment of round-trip turbulence on direct detection systems is believed to be the first estimate of this effect. A more complete system analysis is underway and will be described in a forthcoming paper.© (1995) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
