On-Demand Webinar
Discover how to accurately predict maritime target signatures, including thermal and radiometric EO/IR signatures of high-value vessels in dynamic environments. This webinar provided a practical demonstration. Specifically, we simulated dynamic maritime target signatures and corresponding naval countermeasures using MuSES.
What We Covered
- Predicting physical temperatures and radiometric EO/IR signatures of high-value maritime targets using MuSES.
- A comprehensive overview of the simulation model approach. This includes environmental setup, model attribution, and dynamic inputs for engine state and vessel speed.
- Detailed ship exhaust fluid simulation and plume analysis.
- Optimizing rendering settings, with example imagery and animations.
- Analyzing the thermal simulation and signature impact of key naval countermeasures. This includes ship stack suppression for exhaust plume cooling, water wash for exterior ship surface cooling, and flare deployment for missile distraction.
Who Should Watch
- Ship Design Engineers predicting and reducing ship thermal signature through simulation.
- Naval Threat Analysts predicting and exploiting adversarial ship signatures.
- Data Scientists generating physics-based IR imagery for AI/ML threat detection.
