The Effectiveness of Infrared Suppression Techniques in Reducing the Vulnerability of the F-4 Aircraft to the ATOLL Missile

Abstract

Five IR SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES WERE examined TO DETERMINE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN REDUCING THE VULNERABILITY OF THE F-4 aircraft to the ATOLL missile. Two of these techniques, both using IR dispersive clouds, significantly reduced ATOLL performance. ATOLL launch zones are given for three non-maneuvering and four maneuvering tactical conditions.
