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 …

The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

With the continuous progress in optical sensor technologies, the emergence of imagery
detection systems operating in the infrared (IR) band has become a reality. In response, we …

The infrared susceptibility of the propulsion system of an aircraft is significantly affected by
nozzle shapes and atmospheric conditions. To examine the effects of nozzle shapes and …

This paper assesses aircraft susceptibility from the first principles, with respect to the threat
posed by passively guided infrared homing missiles; with an objective of gaining insight into …

Investigations are reported on infrared (IR) signature studies from internal sources of aircraft
and helicopters, eg engine heated surfaces and exhaust plume. Due to the increasing …

The IR guided missiles have emerged as one of the biggest threat to the survivability of
fighter aircraft in recent times1. The IR seekers have exploited techniques to acquire and …

Incorporation of an infrared suppressor is generally accompanied by a compromise in
engine performance, which indirectly reduces the effectiveness of infrared signature …

The effects of rotor downwash and exhaust direction on plume flow field, rear-fuselage
temperature distribution and helicopter infrared signature were numerically investigated …

The study of lock-on envelop of an aircraft is of fundamental interest for determining its
susceptibility to infrared (IR) guided threats. The performance of IR signature suppression …
