Model Validation Services for Thermal and IR Signature

Closing the Loop with Validation and Verification

After developing thermal and infrared signature models, ThermoAnalytics can extend the value of these simulations with validation in the laboratory or field. Through physical measurements and infrared thermography, our testing services group provides accurate validation of model predictions to assure that all heat transfer mechanisms and thermal system drivers are accounted for.

Ground Truth for Modeling

ThermoAnalytics is a recognized global leader in infrared signature analysis. To reach state-of-the-art accuracy in simulation, we often perform field tests to confirm assumptions about model inputs, such as paint spectral emissivity data or transient response to dynamic heat loads. By exercising targets or systems under realistic operating conditions with environmental drivers like solar loading and cold sky radiation losses, we validate theoretical models and enable our customers to deploy those models with full confidence.
