The use of Scientific Infrared Cameras in Signature Measurement of Infrared Radiant Targets Proceedings Article Hilário, Leandro Richard; Faria, Lester Abreu; Nohra, Luis Felipe Moura; dAmore, Roberto Resumo | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Electronic, Infrared Signature, Thermography @inproceedings{Leandro2012Infraredb,The measurement of aircrafts and other radiant targets infrared signatures is a long-standing priority for the Brazilian Air Force Command. But, once the methods used to measure these signatures to this date show to be extremely costly, requiring a complex support infrastructure and making the measurements of a great number aircraft in a short period of time completely unviable, it is being proposed by the Electronic Warfare Laboratory (LAB-GE) of ITA a new method, based on the use of scientific infrared cameras. This paper describes the proposed methodology by presenting experimental results from a helicopter H-55 that prove the efficiency of this approach, allowing the analysis of its radiance during different operational maneuvers and on the ground. The results show a potential increase in combat and doctrine power to the BAF, allowing the creation of an IR signatures library and the development of tactics and techniques for attacks and air raids inside hostile territories. |
