Target Models
Represent geometry, motion, temperature, spectral or radiometric signatures, orientation, and time-varying behavior appropriate to the analysis.
Targets • Sensors • Atmospheres
Modeling & Simulation
Connecting physical targets, sensor behavior, atmospheric effects, and mission geometry to predict performance and guide technical decisions.
End-to-end representation
Model the complete measurement chain
Useful simulation requires more than an isolated target or sensor model. Lightstorm combines target behavior and signatures with sensor response, viewing geometry, atmospheric transmission, backgrounds, noise, and operating conditions to represent the full problem.
- Target signatures and motion
- Sensor response and noise
- Atmospheric transmission
- Geometry and line of sight
- Monte Carlo analysis
- Model validation
Model components
Physics and performance joined in one analysis
Models can be used independently for focused studies or integrated into a common simulation to examine interactions and sensitivities across the system.
Sensor Models
Estimate field of view, sampling, detector response, optics, noise, pointing, resolution, image quality, and detection or tracking performance.
Atmospheric Models
Account for wavelength-dependent transmission, path radiance, weather, altitude, range, and environmental conditions between the target and sensor.
Trade studies and custom tools
Turn simulation results into engineering decisions
Parameter sweeps, sensitivity studies, uncertainty analysis, visualization, and purpose-built software tools help compare concepts, identify dominant effects, plan tests, and focus hardware development where it matters most.
