An Image Infra-Red(IIR) seeker is widely used for precision guided munitions to provide intelligent and precise target detection in terms of high kill probability. However, there have been issues in determining the performance versus cost trade-offs due to high cost of seeker comparing to other units of the munitions. In this paper, performance/cost evaluations have been carried out to find the most cost-effective solution for developing the IIR seekers. The relationships between the critical parameters and cost are investigated to determine the optimal point which represents the low cost with high performance. It is expected that the presented approach will be able to be used for guidelines to select the appropriate IIR seeker for the given operating conditions and can be useful to estimate the cost effectiveness of the precision guided munitions at early design stage.

The previous simulation models of infra-red (IR) reticle seekers were performed in a static situation. However, in this paper, we develop a new simulation tool which is applicable in various cases, and propose an efficient counter-countermeasure (CCM) in the presence of countermeasures (CM) such as flares. The developed tool analyzes performance of rotating Lovell reticle seeker, and gives tracking performances in various scenarios. The simulation results show that our counter-countermeasure algorithm makes an efficient target tracking in the presence of flares.

This paper presents a dynamic simulation loop that gives tracking results of 2-color concentric annular ring (CAR) reticle seeker. Our simulation tool includes the target/flare model and a proportional navigation guidance (PNG) loop. The CAR reticle system performances and the flare effects are analyzed in various scenarios. When a flare is present in the field of view (FOV), the simulation results show that the reticle seeker cannot keep a precise target tracking. In this paper, we propose 2-color counter-countermeasure (CCM) using the least mean square (LMS) method to cope with a presence of IR flare. The proposed method makes a simultaneous process in two infrared (IR) wavelength bands: MWIR add SWIR. The simulation results have shown that our adaptive IRCCM algorithm can achieve an effective cancellation of the flare signal with a relatively high intensity.

조합 및 고속탐색 실험 기법을 촉매 성분의 선정에 활용하였다. 소형 연료전지 작동을 위한 수소 생산에 가장 적합한 것으로 알려진 메탄을 산화 분해용 촉매의 특성을 적외선 화상 및 병렬형 반응 시스템으로 조사하였다. 반응의 모델을 먼저 제시하고 이를 근거로 Cu-Zn-Pd계 촉매를 선정하였다. 먼저 적외선 화상을 이용한 스크리닝을 위해서는 발열 효과라는 촉매 활성의 간접적인 현상을 보여줄 수 있는 적외선 민감 카메라를 이용하여 한 번에 50개의 시료 측정이 가능한 촉매 시료 배열을 설계하였다. 적외선 화상 결과로 높은 활성을 보이는 촉매 시료를 선정한 다음, 병렬형 반응 시스템과 단일 흐름 고정층 반응 시스템으로 선정된 촉매의 활성 특성을 조사 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 것과 같은 접근 방법으로 지속적으로 얻어진 결과를 반영하여 최적의 활성을 보이는 촉매 성분을 단기간에 찾아내고자 한다.

A small infrared image homing system is a tracking system that has an infrared image sensor that identifies a target through the day and night infrared image processing of the target on the ground and searches for and detects the target with respect to the main target. This paper describes the development of a board equipped with a high-speed CPU and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to identify target through real-time image processing by acquiring target information through infrared image. We propose a CPU-FPGA combining architecture for CPU and FPGA selection and video signal processing, and also describe a controller design using FPGA to control infrared sensor.

Laser beam is directional and small in divergence angle so that it is well qualified to deliver high intensity infrared energy into a coming MANPADS threat for aircraft survivability. The threat will be deceived and loose tracking of a target when it is exposed to the laser beam modulated relevant to the track mechanism of the threat. The laser beam goes through scattering inside the seeker of the threat and reach the detector in a stray light form, which is a critical phenomenon enabling jamming of the seeker. The mechanism of the laser beam based jamming against a pulse modulated infrared seeker is shown. Simulations are carried out to support the understanding of how the jam technique works.

This paper describes modeling, design and performance test results of infrared thermal image target system which can generate infrared thermal image on aircraft. The system is designed to control image shape and intensity so that the infrared image shape and its emitting intensity are so similar to that of real aircraft. When applying the technique suggested in this paper, the system consumes only small electric power energy about 30(㎾) to generate infrared thermal image which is equivalent to that of real aircraft under full power operation. After verifying performance test, the system developed here has been used as a target for korean potable surface to air missile(KPSAM) at the stage of evaluation test such as target adaptive guidance test and auto-pilot logic test.

In this article, the design of a variable F-number and triple magnification infrared optical system is described. That is a two-in-one optical system that combines an infrared search and track (IRST) system and an electro-optical tracking system (EOTS), where an afocal optical system is added to the IRST optical system designed already. The performance target is determined by analyzing system performance, and then the specification in the optical system design is calculated. This optical system contains a warm stop making it possible that one optics has two different F/# by cutting the size of aperture, and that is designed to suit this optics. The system satisfies the requirement such as a modulation transfer function (MTF). For operational assessment, the movement of the focusing lens group is analyzed over the change of temperature and target distance. By using this optical system, it is possible to develop equipment having two functions, infrared searching and electro-optical tracking.
