Analysis of Radar and Infrared Stealth Compatibility Design for Surface Ships

Abstract

The stealth problem of surface ships is no longer a problem of a single physical field in a single frequency band. Under the severe threat of mutual coordination of enemy's radar and infrared composite guidance mode, it is necessary to pay enough attention to the compatibility of radar and infrared stealth for surface ships. First, we analyzed the composite guidance threat of radar and infrared detection faced by surface ships at sea. Second, we analyzed compatibility design of radar and infrared stealth from ship hull outer board inclination, chimney parts and stealth coatings used by ships, separately. Finally, we clarified the direction for the subsequent research and development of stealth technology for surface ships.
