  • Infrared stealth technology used in aircraft is applied to reduce the infrared signal by controlling surface temperature and emissivity using internal heat sink, low emissivity material or metamaterial. However, there is one part of the aircraft where the use of this technology is limited, and that is the radome. Especially, radome should have transmittance for the specific radio frequency, therefore, common stealth technology such as emissivity control surfaces cannot be applied to radome surface. In this study, we developed metal nano-coating for infrared stealth which is applicable to radome surface. We designed slot-type pattern for frequency selective transmission in X-band, and also controlled thickness of metal nano-coating for long wavelength infrared emissivity control. As a result, our infrared stealth surface for radome has 93.2 % transmittance in X-band and various infrared emissivities from 0.17 to 0.57 according to nano-coatings thickness. Also, we analyzed infrared signature of radome through numerical simulation, and finally reduced contrast radiant intensity by 97.57 % compared to polyurethane surface.

  • This study examines the stealth function of sputtered fabric with an infrared thermal imaging camera in terms of the thermal and infrared (IR) transmittance characteristics. Various base fabrics were selected, infrared imaging was performed, and infrared transmittance was measured. By infrared camera experiment it was found that the sample was concealed because it had a similar color to the surroundings when the aluminum layer was directed toward the outside. In addition, a comparison of the infrared thermographic image of the untreated sample and the sputtered sample in the laboratory showed that the difference in ${\Delta}E$ value ranged from 31 to 90.4 and demonstrated effective concealment. However, concealment was not observed in the case of the 3-layer (Nylon-Al-Nylon) model when a sputtered aluminum layer existed between two nylon layers. The direction of the sputtering layer did not affect the infrared transmittance in the infrared transmittance experiment. Therefore, it seems better to interpret the concealing effect in the infrared thermographic images by using thermal transfer theory rather than infrared transmittance theory. We believe that the results of this study will be applicable to developing high performance smart clothing and military uniforms.

  • 스텔스 기술은 레이더 및 적외선 시커와 같은 탐지기로부터의 탐지를 피하는 기술이다. 특히 IR 미사일은 항공기 자체의 열을 감지하기 때문에 적외선 신호에 의한 탐지는 더욱 위협적이며 적외선 스텔스 기술은 항공기 및 UCAV(Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle)의 생존을 보장하는데 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 UCAV 노즐 설계에 따른 공력 및 적외선 스텔스 성능 분석이 수행되었다. 수치해석 결과에 따르면 Double S형 노즐은 엔진의 고온부를 차폐할 수 있기 때문에 적외선 신호를 줄이는 데 효과적이다. 또한, Double S형 노즐에서 회전부 위치가 뒤쪽에 위치할수록 적외선 신호가 감소함을 확인하였다.

  • Titanium exhibits substantial corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility, with a specific gravity of approximately 4.5 and a melting point of approximately 1800℃. It is currently used in aircraft parts and space development. This study considered the thermal characteristics, stealth effects of infrared thermal imaging cameras, electromagnetic shielding, and electrical conductivity of Ti-sputtered materials. Base materials of different densities and types were treated using titanium sputtering. Infrared thermal imaging showed a better stealth effect when the titanium layer was directed toward the outside. The film sample presented a better stealth effect than the fabrics did. In each of the samples subjected to titanium sputtering, when the titanium layer was directed outward, the untreated sample or exposed titanium layer showed surface temperatures lower than those of the samples with the titanium layer oriented toward the heat source. Additionally, after the titanium sputtering treatment, the films conducted electricity (low resistance) better than the fabrics did. All titanium-sputtered specimens presented reduced electromagnetic wave transmission and significantly reduced infrared transmission. These results are expected to apply to military uniforms (soldiers' protective clothing to gain the upper hand on the battlefield), medical sensors, multifunctional intelligent textiles and etc.

  • Molybdenum is used in electrical contacts, industrial motors, and transportation materials due to its remarkable ability to resist heat and corrosion. It is also used to flame coat other metals. This study investigated, the thermal characteristics of the molybdenum sputtered material, such as electrical conductivity, and stealth effects on infrared thermal imaging cameras. To this end, molybdenum sputtered samples were prepared by varying the density of the base sample and the type of base materials used. Thereafter, the produced samples were evaluated for their surface state, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic field characteristics, thermal characteristics, stealth effect on infrared thermal imaging cameras, and moisture characteristics. As a result of infrared thermal imaging, the molybdenum layer was directed towards the outside air, and when the sample was a film, it demonstrated a greater stealth effect than the fabric. When the molybdenum layer was directed to the outside air, all of the molybdenum sputtering-treated samples exhibited a lower surface temperature than the "untreated sample." In addition, as a result of confirming electrical properties following the molybdenum sputtering treatment, it was determined that the film exhibited better electrical conductivity than the fabric. All samples that were subjected to molybdenum sputtering exhibited significantly reduced electromagnetic and IR transmission. As a result, the stealth effect on infrared thermal imaging cameras is considered to be a better way of interpreting heat transfer than infrared transmission. These results are expected to have future applications in high-performance smartwear, military uniforms, and medical wear.

  • 본 연구에서는 페이즈 필드법을 기반으로 하는 위상 최적설계 방법을 통하여 적외선 스텔스 효과를 위한 적외선 반사층의 설계를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 수직으로 입사하는 적외선 파를 반사층에서 반사되어 원하는 방향으로 전파되도록 모델링을 하였다. 전파 방향에 측정 영역을 설정하여 해당 영역에서의 목적함수 값을 최대화하도록 설계가 진행되었으며, 이때 목적함수는 전자기파의 에너지 흐름을 나타내는 포인팅 벡터(Poynting vector)로 설정하였다. 페이즈 필드법 기반의 방법에서의 여러 파라미터 값들을 변경해 가며 설계 결과를 도출하였고, 목적함수 값을 최대화하는 모델을 최적 모델로 선정하였다. 선정된 최적 모델에서 gray scale을 cut-off 방법으로 제거한 경우 더 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 중적외선 영역에서의 효과를 고려하기 위하여 입사되는 파장을 바꿔가며 얻은 해석결과를 검토하였다. 본 연구의 유한요소해석 및 최적화 과정은 상용 프로그램인 COMSOL과 Matlab을 연동하여 수행하였다.

  • This research studied the electrical characteristics, IR transmission characteristics, stealth functions, and thermal characteristics of infrared thermal-imaging cameras of copper-sputtered samples. Nylon samples were prepared for each density as a base material for copper-sputtering treatment. Copper-sputtered NFi, NM1, NM2, NM3, NM4, and NM5, showed electrical resistance of 0.8, 445.7, 80.7, 29.7, 0.3, and 2.2 Ω, respectively, all of which are very low values; for the mesh sample, the lower the density, the lower the electrical resistance. Measuring the IR transmittance showed that the infrared transmittance of the copper-sputtered samples was significantly reduced compared to the untreated sample. Compared to the untreated samples, the transmittance went from 92.0-64.1%. When copper sputtered surface was directed to the IR irradiator, the IR transmittance went from 73.5 to 43.8%. As the density of the sample increased, the transmittance tended to decreased. After the infrared thermal imaging, the absolute values of △R, △G, and △B of the copper phase increased from 2 to 167, 98 to 192, and 7 to 118, respectively, and the closer the density of the sample (NM5→NFi), the larger the absolute value. This proves that the dense copper phase-up sample has a stealth effect on the infrared thermal imaging camera. It is believed that the copper-sputtered nylon samples produced in this study have applications in multifunctional uniforms, bio-signal detection sensors, stage costumes, etc.

  • 적외선을 이용한 무기체계의 발달로 인해 항공기의 생존은 큰 위협에 직면해 있다. 따라서 항공기의 생존성 향상을 위해서 적외선 스텔스 기술이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 수치해석을 통해 실제 비행환경에서의 항공기 표면온도 및 주위 배경에 따른 적외선 신호를 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 적외선 스텔스를 위한 항공기 표면 구조체 방사율의 가이드라인을 제시하고 그 성능을 검증하고자 한다. 수치해석 결과, 주위 배경에 따라서 항공기 표면 방사율을 최적화한다면 항공기와 배경간의 복사대비강도를 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
