A study on the infrared signature of a naval ship by the solar elevation was performed using the well known IR signature analysis software, ShipIR/NTCS. The contrast radiant intensity of a ship against the Eastern Sea background from sunrise to noon was investigated. Monthly averaged climate data for both January and July were applied to investigate the seasonal change in the signature. A study on the signature for different ship speeds was also carried out. Simulation results showed that the maximum signature in both wave-bands for a sea-level observer occurred at around 25~35 degrees of solar elevation and was highly dependent on the ship geometry rather than the solar irradiance.

According to a study on improving ship survivability, an IR signature represents the contrast radiance intensity between the radiation signature from a ship and the background signature. It was found from applying stealth techniques to the process of ship development that the IR signature is remarkably sensitive and dependent on the environment. In this study, marine climate data for the sea near the Korean Peninsula were collected, and the marine meteorological environment in Korean waters was defined. Based on this data, a study on the sensitivity of the IR signature of target objects was performed using analytical methods. The results of the research indicated that clouds have important effects on the infrared signature, but the velocity of the wind and the humidity have only slight effects on the IR signature. In addition, the air and seawater temperatures had hardly any effect on the IR signature, but it is judged that additional study is needed.

항공기로부터 방사되는 IR 신호(Infrared : IR)는 전투 생존성 관점에서 예측과 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 배기 플룸에서 발생하는 IR 신호에 대해 IR 탐지기 관점에서 신호 예측을 수행하였다. 복사 데이터베이스와 이를 활용하는 Line-By-Line 기법을 적용하여 복사 물성치를 해석하고 이를 바탕으로 1차원 Line Of Sight(LOS)에 대해 복사 강도를 해석하였다. 상용 프로그램을 이용하여 노즐의 배기 플룸 열유동장을 해석하였고, 이 플룸 열유동장에 IR 탐지기 관점에서 서로 다른 탐지 각도에 대한 LOS를 설정하여 이에 대한 IR 신호 해석을 수행하였다. 해석을 통해 플룸 내부의 국부적으로 높은 온도 영역을 지나는 LOS에서 강한 IR 신호가 확인되었다. 또한 노즐 벽면을 포함한 LOS에서 가장 강한 IR 신호가 확인되었으며, 이를 통해 고체 벽면에 의한 복사 방사가 IR 신호에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

In the development process of new naval ships, it is necessary to make the effort of the signature management and reduction of ship infrared(IR) signature to increase the ship survivability(susceptibility). So far the ship's contrast radiant intensity is used as a ship IR signature design criteria during the naval ship design stages. However, nowaday it is in a state of disorder at the basic design stage because of the lack of any related studies and methods. In this study, the IR signature management methods for improving the signature reduction and ship survivability are suggested by the comparison analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of signature management techniques. And also the criteria for the ship signature management are suggested when considering the infrared signature measuring assets and sea trial environments of the Korean peninsula.

항공기 추진 시스템의 IR 피탐지성 감소 연구를 위해 항공기 노즐형상 변화에 따른 IR 신호의 영향성을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 가상의 아음속 무인기를 선정하고, 임무분석 및 성능 해석을 통해 엔진을 결정한 후 전체 임무를 만족시키는 원형 노즐을 설계하였다. 또한 다수의 설계변수를 적용하여 다양한 형상의 노즐을 설계하였다. 압축성 CFD 코드를 이용하여 열유동장 및 노즐표면 온도를 분석하였다. 또한 열유동장 해석 결과를 바탕으로 narrow-band 모델과 RadThermIR을 기반으로 하여 항공기 플룸 및 노즐표면 IR 신호를 계산하였다. 계산된 플룸 및 고체 IR신호를 분석, 비교하여 항공기 IR 신호 특성에 관한 정성적 정보를 도출하였다.

본 연구에서는 엔진 노즐 형상이 엔진 Plume의 적외선 신호 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. 이를 위해 적외선 신호 감소 효과를 가지는 큰 세장비의 엔진 노즐과 적외선 감소가 요구되지 않는 항공기에 적용되는 일반적인 원통형 형상의 노즐에 대한 형상설계를 수행하였다. 그리고 두 노즐에 대한 열유동해석을 수행하고 두 노즐의 유동장 특성을 비교하였다. 이후 열유동해석 결과를 이용하여 두 노즐에 대한 적외선 신호 해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 축소형 제트 엔진을 이용하여 엔진 성능 변화 및 배기 플룸 내 측정 위치 변화에 따른 적외선 (Infrared, IR) 신호 측정을 수행하였다. 엔진의 작동 조건은 각 시험별로 일정하게 유지하였으며, 측정 위치는 노즐 출구를 기준으로 일정한 간격을 두었다. 측정된 IR 신호는 흑체를 사용하여 보정하였다. IR 신호 측정 결과는 스펙트럼별 특성을 분석하기 위하여 3개의 밴드로 나타내었다. 엔진 성능의 감소 및 노즐 출구로부터 거리가 증가할수록 IR 신호는 감소되었으며, 감소 수준은 밴드에 따라 다름을 확인하였다.

Infrared(IR) guided heat-seeking missiles uses IR emissions from aircraft to detect and track a target. Due to passive characteristic of the IR guidance, early detection of the missile is difficult and it is significant threat to aircraft survivability. Therefore, IR signature prediction of the aircraft is an important aspect of the stealth technology. In this study, we simulated IR signature of the aircraft in real atmospheric conditions. Aircraft surface temperature distribution was calculated by using RadthermIR code. Based on temperature distribution, IR radiance and BRDF(Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) image were simulated for different weather(seasonal) and background(sky/soil) conditions. The IR contrast tendencies are not aligned with surface temperature or magnitude of target IR radiance. Therefore, it is essential to simulate IR signature with various conditions and background to acquire reliable database.

The IR signature data of a ship is mainly affected by location, meteorological conditions(atmosphere temperature, wind direction and velocity, humidity etc.), atmospheric transmittance, solar position and ship surface temperature etc. The IR signatures received by a remote sensor at a given temperature and wavelength region is consisted of the self-emitted component directly from the object surface, the reflected component of the solar irradiation at the object surface, and the scattered component by the atmosphere without ever reaching the object surface. Computer simulations for prediction of the IR signatures of ships are very useful to examine the effects of various sensor positions. In this paper, we have acquired the IR signature for different sensor positions by using computer program for prediction of the IR signatures. The numerical results show that the IR signature contrast as compared to the background sea considering the meteorological conditions, solar and sky irradiations.

Until now, the stealth design to reduce the infrared signature of ship haven't been carried out using the proper design criteria. The study on the maritime meteorological environment in the Korean seas hasn't been accomplished yet, so the design criteria of the maritime meteorological environment was just given by the engineering sense without experience of the Navy and/or of the shipyard. Even in rather good conditions(summer condition), the estimated IR signature of a ship showed larger values and couldn't predict the worst condition during the operation of a ship at sea. In this study, domestic maritime meteorological data were collected and variables affecting the IR signature of a ship had been derived through the sensitivity study of IR signature according to the maritime meteorological environment in Korean seas. The basic study on the criteria of the stealth design of IR signature has been carried out.
