In this paper, we propose a technique for IR low-observability that uses an active IR signal
tuning through the real time control of the object surface temperature according to the …

Operation Desert Storm has identified the need for improved battlefield surveillance sensors
to see and assess enemy threats under all battlefield conditions, including darkness. Current …

Military infrared (IR) imaging systems utilize one or more IR wavelength-bands, among short
wavelength IR (SWIR), middle wavelength IR (MWIR), and long wavelength IR (LWIR) band …

Survivability of an aircraft has been greatly threatened by the development of a weapon
system using infrared. Therefore, the infrared stealth technology is a very important …

Thermal control is of critical importance for normal operation of spacecraft. Given thermal
radiation is the only means of heat dissipation in space, an efficient thermal control …

Infrared (IR) guided heat-seeking missiles uses IR emissions from aircraft to detect and track
a target. Due to passive characteristic of the IR guidance, early detection of the missile is …

With the arrival of the space economy, the miniaturization of spacecraft and their multi-
functional trends have put a greater demand on space thermal control systems. Smart …

The lock-on range, R, of infrared (IR) heat seeker missile has been studied in details. An
analytical expression form of R has been derived in term of target (assumed as aircraft hot …

During typical supersonic cruising, the temperature of the aircraft skin rises above 300 K due
to aerodynamic heating. In this situation, aircraft-skin infrared (IR) suppression, used to …

This paper describes a new approach to spacecraft thermal control based on a passive thin-
film smart radiator device (SRD) that employs a variable heattransfer/emitter structure. The …
