11. In addition to SPURC (see preceding endnote), SLAM (SciTec Low-Altitude Missile exhaust plume code) was also used to generate the amine signature, see e.g., S. Augustin, The Prediction of Low Altitude IR Plume Signatures Using a Well Mixed Approach to Turbulent Entrainment (U), Proceedings of the 21st JANNAF Exhaust Plume Technology Subcommittee Meeting, Vol. EH, 47, Sunnyvale, CA, 19-21 October, 1994 (Classified Paper)
12. Transmission and radiance calculations were accomplished using MODTRAN V4.0 for a midlatitude summer atmosphere at a target local zenith angle of 45 degrees at an altitude of 1km (transmission) and at 4km (cumulus cloud top).

31. The explanation that is generally given is that due to some instabilities in the Iraqi's extended range version (the A1 Hussein) of the Soviet Scud B, in some cases the missile self-destructed upon re-entering the atmosphere, thereby triggering a successful kill signal in the detectors of the pursuing Patriot.
