Paper Abstract
The reticle systems which are considered as the classical approach for determining the angular position of radiating
targets in infrared band are widely used in early generation surface-to-air and air-to-air infrared guided missile seekers.
One of the cost-effective ways of protecting aircrafts against these missiles is to dispense flare decoys from the countermeasure
dispensing system (CMDS) integrated into the aircraft platform. Although this counter-measuring technique
seems very simple, if not optimized carefully, it may not be effective for protecting the aircraft. Flares should be
dispensed in accordance with a specific dispensing program which determines the number of flares to be dispensed from
each dispenser of the CMDS and timing sequence of dispensing. Optimizing the parameters of the dispensing program is
not trivial. It requires a good understanding of the operating principle of the threat seeker, operational capabilities of own
platform and engagement scenario between them. In the present paper, we propose a complete simulation-based
procedure to form an effectiveness boundary of flare dispensing programs against the spin-scan and conical-scan reticle
seekers. The region of effectiveness is determined via Gaussian mixture models. The raw data is collected via extensive
number of simulations using a MATLAB-coded simulator which models reticle-based seeker, aircraft radiation, aircraft
motion, aircraft CMDS system, flare motion and flare radiation.
