The signature simulations were carried out for evening time situation when the sun is below the horizon. The mobile camouflage system significantly reduced the infrared signature by shielding the absolute hottest structure's radiation, and directing the exhaust and hot air flows from visible structures, especially from the front and side directions. The changes in signature of the MBT were successfully simulate with TAIThermIR and the models of the MBT and camouflage that had been developed. The tool does not allow the calculation of the exhaust gas radiance contribution to the signature. |
