IR model of 3D aircraft for simulation of reticle seekers

초록

This paper presents an efficient simulation method that generates thermal images and also gives tracking results of infra-red (IR) reticle seekers. First, we make an IR model of the object with the internal heat source, and generate thermal images by the optical system of the reticle seeker and the atmospheric turbulence. Using the obtained thermal images, we can simulate IR reticle seekers in various scenarios including countermeasures (CM) such as hares. Simulation results show that we can generate more accurate images by using the proposed method, which is applicable to the study of the development of counter-countermeasures (CCMs).
