This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of infrared (IR) flare against an IR missile with a
tactic of dispensing in burst. Firstly, the models of aircraft motion, flare radiation and motion …

Deploying flare decoys against heat-seeking threats involves various parameters such as
flare timing, flare ejection velocity, direction of ejection and the number of flares used. In this …

The aim of this PhD is to investigate pre-emptive flare release compared to reactive flare
release and their efficacy as a countermeasure device in the protection of fast jet and …

Since the emergence of aircraft in the twentieth century, the control of airspace has become
of major tactical importance in times of conflict. This has led to the introduction of various anti …

This paper deals with an elimination of jamming optoelectronic seekers by flares. It is
predominantly focused on the design and testing of the method of object discrimination for …

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 …

Analysts at the National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) require a tool to help them assess the
effectiveness of infrared countermeasures (IRCM) in an engagement scenario. The Air Force …

In directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM), the purpose of jamming toward missiles is
making missiles miss the target (aircraft of our forces) in the field of view. Since the DIRCM …

Anti-aircraft infrared (IR) guided missile systems, such as man-portable air defence systems
(MANPADS), may be equipped with a variety of counter-countermeasure techniques. One …
