Ship Survivability (part II) Ship Infrared (IR) signatures
article
A low lnfrared (lR) signature is of paramount importance for a warship's survivability, In this paper,
basic IR theory will be addressed, next to the simulation of IR Signatures, to give insight to lR signature management.
Possible lR Signature Suppression techniques will be presented and elaborated upon.
A general overview will be given of the lnfrared Signature Suppression Features which have
been installed in the design of the new RNLN Air Defence Command Frigate ,,LCF", see Figure
1. The article will close with views on future trends.
