I don't think so. It's a chart that plot the range at witch the F16 pilot has detected at 90% sure an other F16 regarding its position to the sun in two different luminosity conditions : when the sun is at 30deg above the horizon and when it is at 60deg.

If you are afraid abt the low range value (1.6 +-0.1 NM), keep in mind that speed greatly affect detection range. The merge speed here being probably over 1000knots
