ShipIR Model Validation Using NATO SIMVEX Experiment Results

Abstract

An infrared (IR) field trial has been conducted by a NATO science panel on IR ship signatures, TG-16. This trial was planned, designed, and executed to validate predictive IR ship signature simulations. Details of the trial were dictated by a validation methodology that exploits the concept of experimental precision. Two government defense laboratories, the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, have used these trial data to perform a validation analysis on the ShipIR IR signature code. This analysis quantifies prediction accuracy of the current versions of the code and identifies specific portions of the code that need to be upgraded to improve prediction accuracy.
