Research abstract
THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM OF PROTECTION OF U.S. AIR FORCE AND OTHER DOD AIRCRAFT AGAINST HEAT-SEEKING, INFRARED GUIDED MISSILES. WHILE THERE ARE SEVERAL EXISTING APPROACHES ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, THEY ARE VARIOUSLY, LIMITED IN ROBUSTNESS, MULTI-SPECTRAL CAPABILITIES, RELIABILITY AND COST. THE APPROACH PROPOSED HEREIN WHICH EFFECT A LOW COST SOLUTION FOR ACQUISITION, AND LIFE-CYCLE (BOTH GROUP A AND GROUP B COSTS), LARGELY OVERCOMES THE LISTED LIMITATIONS IN PRESENT SYSTEMS. IT IS BASED ON COMBINING RESULTS FROM ACTUAL VIETNAM COMBAT EXPERIENCE WITH THOROUGH BACKGROUND IN MISSILE BEHAVIOR AND RECENT FAAC STUDIES UNDER THE LEMMING PROJECT.
