THE 1996 MEETING OF THE IRIS SPECIALTY GROUP ON TARGETS, BACKGROUNDS AND DISCRIMINATION will be held on January 30, 31 & February 1, 1996 at the Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM. The meeting will highlight emerging capabilities to leverage physics-based target signature and environment models, and related measurement data, to extend the utility of large scale simulations. The program reflects the continuing convergence of the communities engaged in tactically oriented work on the one hand, and those doing work related to theater ballistic missiles on the other. The sessions scheduled are: Keynote papers on the role of High Fidelity Models in Warfighting Simulations; Targets; Backgrounds; Discrimination; DSP and COBRA BRASS; JTAMS; and ARES and multihyperspectral. The meeting is Classified, restricted to U.S. Citizens which are DoD Contractors and/or DoD Government. The meeting is administered by the Infrared Information Analysis Center located at the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.
