“…They use multi-colour thermal-imaging systems that employ an array of detectors to build a spatial map of the scene [43][44][45]. Such detectors can eventually find a place in IR-guided missiles, making IR signature management even more stringent [46,47]. The safe flight envelope of an aircraft against IR detection depends upon the NEI of the detector; hence, it is an important operational constraint [40].…”

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 helicopter loss. Therefore, IR signature studies are important to counter this threat for survivability enhancement, and are an important aspect of stealth technology. This paper reviews contemporary developments in this discipline, with particular emphasis on IR signature prediction from aerospace vehicles. The role of atmosphere in IR signature analysis, and relation between IR signature level and target susceptibility are illustrated. Also, IR signature suppression systems and countermeasure techniques are discussed, to highlight their effectiveness and implications in terms of penalties.

“…Such systems are immune to some IR countermeasures, like the IR flares, which appear as a point source, and are ignored by the detector [22]. New generation IR-detectors based on QWIP (Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors) technology use multi-colour thermal-imaging systems that employ an array of detectors to build a spectral map of the scene [4,6,8]. Such detectors will eventually find their way in IR-guided missiles, making IR signature level management even more stringent.…”
