Abstract: A device is provided for controlling fluid flow over a window of a movable optical instrument housing. The device includes a generally annular body having an inner peripheral edge configured to correspond to a peripheral edge of the window of the housing and an outer peripheral edge, an arcuate outer surface disposed between the inner peripheral edge and the outer peripheral edge, and a reduced width portion between the inner peripheral edge and the outer peripheral edge. The reduced width portion is configured to lower elevation torque. Other embodiments of the device and methods for controlling fluid flow are further disclosed.

Abstract: A system, and method of operating the same detects moving targets in images and performs image turbulence correction. The system includes an automatic target recognizer (ATR) system including a database. The ATR includes a feature extractor and processor arranged to detect a plurality of reference features associated with targets within image frames, and calculate a position of the plurality of reference features. The system includes an image processor arranged to receive the position, demosaic the image frames into a plurality of video tiles, iteratively process the video tiles for turbulence correction to generate turbulence corrected video tiles associated with acquired targets; convert the turbulence corrected video tiles into a single video frame tile including turbulence degradation correction; and mosaic each of the single video frame tiles to generate a full field of view turbulence corrected video stream.
