Description

Definition and Scope:

UV-based missile warning systems are passive optical sensor platforms that detect the solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) emissions—typically wavelengths below 290nm—from missile plumes during launch. These systems use solar-blind intensified sensors or filters to suppress background sunlight and isolate the distinct UV signature of missile motor flames. Critical performance parameters include detection wavelength, field-of-view angle (e.g., 90°), false alarm rate, detection range, response time, and environmental ruggedness (e.g., MIL-STD compliance). These systems are deployed on helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, ground vehicles, and unmanned platforms.

The global UV-Based Missile Warning System market is projected to reach USD 1252.94 Million in 2024. It is expected to grow to USD 1963.81 Million by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.12% during the forecast period (2025–2033). -

Early missile warnings were mainly based on infrared warnings. This is because the spectrum of missile tail flame radiation has characteristic peaks at 2.7um and 4.3um, and carbon dioxide and water vapor have strong absorption of these two spectrum bands. Therefore, early missile warnings mostly choose these two spectrum bands. This passive working mode of infrared warning system has some advantages of its own, such as strong anti-interference ability, good concealment, and can work at any time.

However, many technical improvements in the current missile engines are working to reduce the radiation intensity of the missile tail flame at these two characteristic peaks. At present, engines that do not contain carbon dioxide and water vapor in the missile tail gas have been produced and designed, which greatly reduces the infrared radiation in the missile tail flame, greatly increases the false alarm rate of infrared warning, and most of the laser weapons currently developed are concentrated in the infrared band, which also poses a certain threat to the safety of the infrared warning system. Therefore, the simple infrared warning system has gradually failed to meet the needs of technological development, and the ultraviolet warning system came into being.

The ultraviolet warning optical system detects ultraviolet radiation in the missile tail flame and plume to achieve the purpose of warning the missile. No matter what material the missile uses, its tail flame will contain ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet warning uses ""day-blind ultraviolet"" to detect ultraviolet radiation from the missile tail flame flying out of the atmosphere. ""Solar-blind ultraviolet"" refers to the spectrum band of 0.25 to 0.2um, which is mainly formed because most of the light waves in this band of solar radiation (the main source of ultraviolet radiation) are absorbed by the earth's ozone layer, and only a very small amount of natural sunlight can reach the ground. When the height of the target object exceeds 50km, due to the reduction of ozone, the absorption of the atmosphere on the ultraviolet band decreases, and the ultraviolet target signal is enhanced. Therefore, when military targets such as missiles appear outside the ozone layer, the ultraviolet radiation of its engine tail flame is not affected by atmospheric absorption and attenuation, and the signal reaching the ultraviolet detection equipment is strong, while the background signal is very small and smooth. The signal-to-noise ratio of the ultraviolet signal received by the ultraviolet detector is quite high, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting and warning military targets.
