The development of sophisticated electro-optical equipment requires radiometrically calibrated imaging scene simulators in order to evaluate and optimise system performance under diverse environmental conditions. A brief overview of a working simulation system is presented, highlighting the issues relevant to physics-based radiometry, signature measurement, signature modelling and software implementation. The article briefly describes the application of the simulation in the development of various weapon systems; including sensor development, image processing algorithm development and knowledge management. The simulator environment has proved invaluable in the development and evaluation of complex optronics weapon systems
