Surface-to-air missiles having infrared detectors, aiming to destroy air platforms, determine the position of targets based on the infrared energy radiating from air platforms. It is possible to detect infrared signals radiating from an air platform by a missile seeker. This will enable the missile to estimate target position with respect to missile seeker. On the other hand, there are many advanced techniques developed to prevent missiles to damage targets. It is a real need for the missiles to overcome these ECM (Electronic-Counter-Measures) techniques which are carried out by air platform. In order to satisfy this basic need of missiles, certain techniques called ECCM (Electronic-Counter-Counter-Measures) techniques have been developed. In this study, surface-to-air missile equipped with imaging infrared seeker, which has dual band Focal-Plane-Array detector, has been designed to detect target position. Infrared detector detects and measures the position of target, if the intensity of the detected infrared signals is above threshold level. In this manner, background noise is eliminated. At the same time, ECCM techniques prevent seeker to be misled by MTV (Magnesium/Teflon/Viton) and spectral flares which are ECM ammunition dispensed by an air platform. In order to realize and test the models, simulator has been developed. Dynamic motion and 3D infrared signature models of F-16 air platform; detector, ECCM techniques, gimbal, guidance, kinematic motion models of missile; MTV and spectral flares motion and 3D infrared signature models with respect to time have been developed at simulator.

The Flare Effectiveness against Imaging Infrared Seekers Yurttas, Ragip; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2013-04-26) As the focal plane array (FPA) infrared detector technology is developed, imaging infrared seeker guided missiles threaten air platforms more in recent years. In this paper, the effectiveness of MTV flares, which are used to protect air platforms against this type of threats, is evaluated. For this purpose, a simulation software, which includes G/M model with IIR seeker, MTV flare model and F 16 air platform model, is developed.
Increasing air defense capability by optimizing burst distance Türkuzan, Mehmet; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis, burst distance is optimized to increase air defense capability for systems utilizing airburst munitions. A simulator program is created to use during the study by taking advantage of the MATLAB environment. While creating the simulator program, a munition path model is derived by using fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Then, simulations are conducted at different burst distances and related information are recorded. By using least square optimization method and gathered data, optimum burst di...
Imaging infrared seeker design Ünal, Ahmet; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Physics (2014) The subject of this study is the design of an imaging infrared seeker for aerial targets. Firstly the radiant power of the target was discussed and optical design of seeker lenses were done with ZEMAX Optical Design Software considering the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) values, optical path ifferences, distortions and detection range calculations. After that, detection range calculations and simulation results of the optical system were presented. Before lock on range calculations, spectral band of the...
Lithologic discrimination and mapping by aster thermal infrared imagery Okyay, Ünal; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2012) In conventional remote sensing, visible-near infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) part of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) have been utilized for lithological discrimination extensively. Additionally, TIR part of the EM spectrum can also be utilized for discrimination of surface materials either through emissivity characteristics of materials or through radiance as in VNIR and SWIR. In this study, ASTER thermal multispectral infrared data is evaluated in regard to lithological discrimination and ...
An optical fiber radiation sensor for remote detection of radiological materials Klein, DM; Yukihara, EG; Bulur, Enver; Durham, JS; Akselrod, MS; McKeever, SWS (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-08-01) This paper demonstrates the feasibility of a portable radiation sensor system that uses the pulsed optically stimulated luminescence technique to remotely interrogate an aluminum oxide (Al2O3:C) radiation sensor via an optical fiber. The objective is to develop a system for applications requiring simple and inexpensive sensors for widespread monitoring of ionizing radiation levels, which can be remotely interrogated at regular periods with little or no human intervention and are easy to install, operate, an...
