Paper Abstract
This research indicated the experiment method to analyze and predict the effect of turbulence on the performance of IR
thermal imagers. First, the values of structure constant of refractive index, Cn 2, were measured. The Cn 2 model used in
engineering applications is also introduced. And the calculated values were compared to the experiment data, so that the
model can be modified. Meanwhile, two IR thermal imagers in MWIR and LWIR bands were installed to provide the
data on the range performance. After that, the range values as a function of varying turbulence were calculated utilizing
the simulation tool. Finally, this paper analyzed the range values in different groups.
