Understanding Stealth and Aircraft Survivability

Methodology for Assessing Survivability Tradeoffs in the Preliminary Design Process

Aircraft survivability is a key metric that contributes to the overall system effectiveness of military aircraft as well as to a lower life cycle cost. The aircraft designer, thus, must have a complete and thorough understanding of the interrelationships between the components of survivability and the other traditional disciplines as well as how they affect the overall life cycle cost of the ai...

Infrared signature studies of aerospace vehicles

Infrared (IR) emissions from aircraft are used to detect, track, and lock-on to the target. MAN Portable Air Defence Systems (MANPADS) have emerged as a major cause of aircraft and helicopter loss. Therefore, IR signature studies are important to counter this threat for survivability enhancement, and are an important aspect of stealth technology. This paper reviews contemporary developments in ...

Schemes for Surviving Advanced Persistent Threats

Mission critical systems are prevalent in the military and industry which renders them attractive as targets for security attacks. Their constantly increasing structural complexity contributes to benign faults and further facilitates malicious entities. Over the years, these malicious entities in cyber-space have grown smarter and extremely resourceful. Advanced persistent threat (APT) is a cle...
