OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF COUNTERMEASURES TECHNIQUES USED AGAINST PASSIVE INFRARED SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT

Abstract

Tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of certainermeasures techniques against passive near-infrared surveillance. PU-248 generators and 2 1/2-ton trucks were used as targets. Comparisons were made under varying conditions of the infrared radiation from exposed targets and targets protected by wood and canvas shields. The flash ranging set AN/GAS-1(XE-3) and an Eastman image scanner were used as the infrared detectors. From the results of the test it was concluded that rather simple shielding measures integral to gasoline-powered equipment would considerably reduce its vulnerability to near-infrared detection.
