Research on the Properties of a Surface-Type Infrared Decoy and Effect of Multiple Launching

To study the properties of a new surface-type infrared decoy,the numerical dispersion model and the infrared radiance model of the plates are established. In addition,the temperature of a single plate was measured during combustion experiment,and the spatial position and infrared radiance of each plate are calculated in plate cloud by the two models respectively. Furthermore,the radar images of the plate cloud are simulated and analyzed in dependence of time and direction for single and multiple launching. The result shows that the surface-type infrared decoy can be a point source of interference when the missile is remote tracking. In the meanwhile,the plates cloud shelters the infrared characteristics of the plume and jets of aircraft when the missile is on IR imaging guidance mode. Moreover,With the analysis of the plate cloud dispersion at different intervals and the infrared radiation intensity in the case of different launching number,it can be concluded that a comfortable launching interval can maintain a continuous plate cloud,launching the decoys simultaneously increase the increment of the radiation intensity obviously,the multiple launching is an effective way to enhance the interference property of the decoy.

Impact of Tactical Parameters of Aircraft on Jamming Effectiveness of Surface-Source IR Decoy

As the platform for surface-source infrared decoys,the target aircraft is the aim of attacks in air-to-air combat.It can quickly and accurately evaluate the jamming effectiveness of the surface-source IR decoy in various states of motion is important for enhancing the security of the aircraft.This paper proposes a model of surface-source IR decoy,and compares and analyzes simulated and measured infrared images of diffusion.A system to assess the effectiveness of the jamming of the surface-source IR decoy,target aircraft,and infrared guided missile called“Trinity”is established.Simulations were conducted to assess the impact of flight height,flight speed,and the maneuvering of the target aircraft on the jamming effectiveness of the surface-source IR decoy.The results show that with an increase in flight height and speed,the jamming probability of a surface-source IR decoy first increases and then decreases,where evasive maneuvering by the target aircraft can effectively improve this probability.When the radius of the vertical snake maneuver was 125 m,that of the horizontal snake maneuver was 200 m,and the radius of the barrel roll maneuver was 250 m,the jamming probability of the surface-source IR decoy was relatively high.By comparing the simulation results with measured data,the study verified the accuracy of the proposed method.

Aerodynamic Characteristics Calculation and Diffusion Law Analysis of Rectangular-Chaff Clouds Under Airflow

To calculate the diffusion law of chaff cloud launched by aircraft,taking rectangular chaff as an example,the diffusion model of chaff cloud is established in this paper.Firstly,the coordinate systems of chaff are defined and the motion model of chaff is established.The motion model mainly includes chaff motion equation and rotation equation,which are obtained by combining the aerodynamic moment and aerodynamic damping.Then,the influence of multi-chaff aerodynamic interference on the movement of chaff is analyzed.Finally,considering the influence of overlap area between chaffs and chaff spacing on the aerodynamic coefficients,the multi-chaff motion model is obtained,and the simulation results are compared with the test results to verify the credibility of the model.
