Application of infrared technology to problems in a systems engineering effort must be based upon an understanding of target-background-atmospheric radiation interactions as well as electro-optical systems and their components. This paper presents a brief tutorial review of these fundamentals in a treatment derived from the long-standing University of Michigan Engineering Summer Conference and ERIM's short course on this topic.
