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 …

With rapid advancements in Infra-Red (IR) detection techniques, the range from where the
IR-guided missiles are able to lock the target aircraft has increased. To avoid the detection …

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 …

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

The infrared (IR) seekers have exploited techniques to passively acquire and intercept
airborne targets, by detecting their IR energy [1]. The basic principle of IR detection is the …

In general, jet engines operate with choked nozzle during take-off, climb and cruise,
whereas unchoking occurs while landing and taxiing (when engine is not running at full …

Infrared signal and exhaust gas temperature distribution with bypass ratio were measured
using a micro turbojet engine. Micro turbojet engine was modified to simulate the turbofan …

The lock-on envelope of target aircraft is important in determining its susceptibility against a
heat-seeking missile and depends on the aircraft's infrared (IR) signature level (IRSL). In this …

STEALTH techniques have an impact on the design of aerospace vehicles that must operate
in a human-made hostile environment [1, 2]. The passive nature of infrared (IR) detectors …

The plume infrared signature effects at various flight conditions of aircraft were investigated
for the purpose of reducing infrared signature level. The nozzle of a virtual subsonic …
