Official Description

The infrared (IR) tracking system of an interceptor vehicle works by determining the position of an object via the line of sight (LOS) between the vehicle and the object of interest and then feeding that information into the guidance system. In all cases there is a protective window or dome in front of the IR tracking system. If a temperature gradient is formed between the front side and the back side of this protective window, such as might occur in supersonic and hypersonic flight, the measure...
