Research Summary

The Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system is a sophisticated sensor technology used primarily in military aircraft and naval vessels to detect and track targets based on their infrared emissions. Unlike radar systems that rely on radio waves, IRST systems detect the heat signatures emitted by objects, such as aircraft or ships, even when they are not actively transmitting signals. By passively monitoring the infrared radiation emitted by targets, IRST systems provide a stealthy means of detecting and tracking potential threats, including stealth aircraft or low-flying cruise missiles, without alerting adversaries to their presence. IRST technology enhances situational awareness, improves response times, and contributes to overall combat effectiveness in air-to-air and surface-to-air engagements.
