In recent years, Iran has developed the Khalij Fars ('Persian Gulf') anti-ship ballistic missile, which uses
infrared guidance to slam a 1,433lb warhead into moving naval targets.
The SPBE is a self-guided bomb that uses
infrared guidance and is able to strike tanks and other military equipment with great precision.
The missile's autonomous dual-mode, passive radio frequency and
infrared guidance design provide a high-firepower capability for engaging multiple threats simultaneously.
• Fluorescent imaging - a special tool that uses near
infrared guidance to illuminate healthy tissue and blood vessels with a fluorescent green glow, so surgeons can see in real time where healthy tissue and vessels stop and damaged vessels or cancerous tissues begin.
One man claiming to be a rebel, for instance, on Tuesday posted a photo on Facebook of himself posing with a weapon identified by one intelligence expert as a portable surface-to-air missile launcher with
infrared guidance.
Among the topics are modeling and simulation for an
infrared guidance system, mathematical modeling for the quality evaluation of Baikal skullcap root, fault diagnosis for nonlinear analog circuits based on harmonic decomposition and coherent measurement, applications of laser underwater communication on diving operations, intuitive visualization for online image retrieval, the influence of variety in oil temperature on performance in hydro-pneumatic suspension, and general expression forms on the fuzziness of a fuzzy operator.
Managed by ONR's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department as a Future Naval Capability (FNC), LCITS equips the unguided Hydra-70 rocket with a low-cost imaging
infrared guidance solution to more accurately strike an intended target.
The AIM-9(M) Sidewinder is carried by fighter aircraft and is a supersonic, heat seeking, air-to-air missile, which consists of a high-explosive warhead and a dynamic
infrared guidance system.
The Army selected a single contractor to build the multi-service "joint common missile," but wanted to engage two suppliers to compete in the development of the seeker--a complex tri-mode system that will combine laser, radar and
infrared guidance into a single device.
The M211/212 flares counter all known surface-to-air missile (SAM) threats by serving as decoys that confuse the SAM's
infrared guidance systems.
"There are also 'mirrorball' defences, very similar to the things in discos, that literally dazzle the
infrared guidance system on missiles."
