Abstract
Infrared signature of rocket plume plays an important role for detection, recognition, tracking and minimzing for low observability. Infrared signatures of rocket plume with reduced smoke propellant and smokeless propellant are measured. In order to estimate the infrared signature of rocket plume, CFD analysis for flow structure of plume is performed, and layered integration method for estimating of infrared signature is used. Numerical and experimental results were in good agreement. Both propellants had similar infrared signature. Strong peak at $4.3{\mu}m$ region in the experimental results is appeared due to experimental error arising from the calibration procedure.
