Physics-based infrared high elevation engagement modelling of naval platforms
conference paper
Infrared imaging sensors can nowadays be regarded as a viable alternative to radar guidance that is more stealthy and capable of naval target classification, decoy discrimination and aimpoint selection. In view of this, the design of naval platforms, their sensors, weapon systems and counter measure deployment strategies need to be adapted accordingly. For this, tooling capable of simulating engagements by IR guided threats is essential. This paper presents a recently developed physics-based GPU-accelerated model chain that allows to generate realistic and adiometrically correct image sequences representative of those seen by an IR threat having varying levels of intelligence that is approaching a naval vessel. A description of the scientific and computational aspects of the model and modules will be rovided along with examples of modelling output.
