Reviewer 1 Report
In this paper, the authors proposed the improved dual-threshold method based on trend line analysis for long-wave infrared (LWIR) quantum cascade laser (QCL) is proposed to achieve target acquisition. The results of this paper will provide a reference for the performance improvement and refinement of collimation system for wireless quantum communication networks in low visibility. I think the scheme and the results are interesting and would perhaps worth publication after some necessary revisions. The technical points I would like to be considered in the revised version are the following:
1. As far as I know, atmospheric transmission coefficient is related to factors such as temperature and altitude. How these factors are defined in this paper should be explained in detail. Are the parameters set in section 2,2 generic?
2. There is little literature listed in this paper. The authors should make this seriously if they want to publish their work in a serious scientific journal.
3. The figure 7, 8, and 9 in the text needs to be carefully revised.
Minor editing of English language required

Reviewer 2 Report
To tackle the performance failure of near-infrared (NIR) collimation system of quantum drones communication network, an improved dual-threshold method based on trend line analysis for long-wave infrared quantum cascade laser (QCL) is proposed to achieve target acquisition.
Some meaningful conclusions are reached.
It is original and interesting, and I would like to recommend its aceptance for publication in ENTROPY after mandatory revision.
The motivation and contributions can be clarified.
Moderate editing of English language would be better. Some sentences are too long to easily understand.
The results should be explained more clear, especislly from the aspect of theory.
The conclusion should be briefly rearranged.
Moderate editing of English language would be better. Some sentences are too long to easily understand.
