Expendable Countermeasure Effectiveness against Imaging Infrared Guided Threats
نویسنده
چکیده
The following investigation evaluated the effectiveness of expendable infrared countermeasures (flares) in the protection of a fast jet against imaging infrared seekers. The report presents an effectiveness evaluation process and analyzes the results of Monte Carlo simulation runs. The goal of the investigation was to determine if expendable countermeasures (specifically spatially distributed flares) could be effective against imaging IR-guided threats.

Implementation of intensity ratio change and line-of-sight rate change algorithms for imaging infrared trackers
The use of the intensity change and line-of-sight (LOS) change concepts have previously been documented in the openliterature as techniques used by non-imaging infrared (IR) seekers to reject expendable IR countermeasures (IRCM). The purpose of this project was to implement IR counter-countermeasure (IRCCM) algorithms based on target intensity and kinematic behavior for a generic imaging IR (II...

Electronic countermeasures (ECM) are an essential part of platform protection and survivability. Developing effective countermeasure starts with an in-depth understanding of the physical interactions between the threat, the target, the countermeasures and their environment. A significant amount of this knowledge can be acquired using physics-based modelling and simulation tools. To address the ...

Simple countermeasures against passive (thermal) infrared intrusion detection systems (IDSs) and thermal imagers were tested in winter by U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers working with personnel of the U. S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). Under certain site conditions, the countermeasures were very effective, enabling intruders to pass undetected by the infrared ...
متن کاملOptimal Decision-Making of Countermeasures by Estimating Their Expected Utilities
This paper investigates the autonomous decision-making process of the selection of alternative countermeasures against threats in electronic warfare settings. We introduce a threat model, which represents a specific threat pattern, and a methodology that decides the best countermeasure against real-time threats using the decision theory. To determine the optimal countermeasure, we model the pro...
