Future flare compositions
conference paper
This poster describes the work done within the Category B joint research project under the European Defence Agency (EDA) on Future Flare Compositions [1]. Contributing members were Finland, Germany, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The program was aimed to identify the technology gaps that apply to countermeasures against future IR/EO threats to flying platforms. The focus has been on new advanced flare compositions against the above mentioned threats. Also rapid design and analysis tools for spectral countermeasures for new threats were developed. Work defined were a literature study of the current state of the art, a workshop on spectral countermeasures with the focus on modeling and rapid design, next generations countermeasures by a selection of concepts and the manufacture of test flares, and full scale trials to test for suitability and correlate modeling results.
