This paper provides an overview of the critical IR projector requirements and specifications for hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulations of imaging IR systems and reviews the most prominent technologies associated with IR scene projection. Each method is briefly discussed in terms of physical operation with all revelant advantages and disadvantages highlighted. A comparison of the different categories of projection devices for applicability to HWIL simulation is provided.
