Abstract FogEye technology offers the potential for operation of electro optical sensors and systems that function "hands-off", over extended distances during varying atmospheric conditions, day and night. The technology has been shown to employ solar blind ultraviolet radiation and special electro optical hardware to achieve immunity to natural background radiation. Solar blind ultraviolet radiation may also have favorable atmospheric transmission properties. A basic FogEye hardware complement consists of a Transmitter, a source of ultraviolet radiation, and a Receiver that accepts this radiation and rejects all of the sun's radiation as well as rejecting man-made sources of non solar blind radiation, but, of course, is sensitive to man-made solar-blind radiation.
