Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT Bombay) is offering a short term course on Aircraft Technology. It is a five days course that covers the evolution of airpower and the ever-increasing component of stealth technology in dictating warfare.
Name of the course:
Aircraft Stealth Technology
Organiser:
Key points covered:
- Principles of Stealth - camouflage, conceal, deceive
- Active vs. Passive detection
- Mission Attainment Measure, Aircraft Survival rate, Measure of Mission Success, & Mission Goal
- Survivability, Susceptibility, Vulnerability of Aircraft & Helicopter in Human-made Hostile Environment
- Precision Guided Weapons & Role of Stealth Aircraft
- Introduction to Aircraft Signatures - radar (Radar CrossSection & its reduction), IR, Visual, Aural
- Introduction to Materials for Stealth
- Stealth related to air-intakes
- Stealth related to UCAV design
- Basics of high frequency RCS of aerospace & naval targets
- Extremely low frequency electric field modeling & reducing signatures
- RCS computations for realistic geometries - issues & challenges
- Design synthesis & modeling of Radar Absorbing Materials
- Aero-acoustic field & its modeling
- Simulation & mitigation of laser lethality
- Principles of IR Radiation - basic laws (Planck's, Wien's Displacement, Kirchhoff's), Grey Body spectrum of Solid Surfaces vs. Line & Narrow Band Emission from Unsymmetrical Gases [e.g. CO2, H2O (vap.)]
- IR Signatures in 2-3 m, 3-5 m, 8-12 m
- IR Signatures from Internal Sources - engine heated casing, engine exhaust plume, aerodynamic heating of airframe in supersonic aircraft
- Simulation of plume for IR signature
- IR Signatures from External Sources - reflection of earthshine (in 8-12 m), sunshine (in 2-3 m followed by 3-5 m), & sky-shine (in 8-12 m)
- Role of Atmosphere - attenuation of IR-signature by intervening atmosphere & atmospheric background radiance
- Relation between IR-Signature and Aircraft / Helicopter Susceptibility - lock-on envelope & lethal envelope for air-to-air combat in horizontal plane
- IR-Signature Suppression (& its Penalties) - optical blocking, cooling, emissivity optimization
- IR Countermeasures (IRCM) for point IR-detection - decoys / flares
- IRC2M - imaging IR-detectors
