Market Insights
In modern warfare, seeking and eliminating enemy before their physical sighting gives an additional edge to any side. Technologies such as RADAR and thermal imaging, among others are consistently upgraded to improve search and track activities. Infrared search and track (IRST) is one such technology used comprehensively in modern searching and tracking systems. The use of infrared capturing for passive awareness systems including searching, detection and locating has become a prime factor in advanced defense and surveillance systems. Consequently, this has boosted the need for infrared search and track (IRST) systems in the past few decades.
The proliferation of advanced technology is one of the key driving factors for the modern infrared search and tracking (IRST) systems market. Efficient and highly accurate sensors have improved the sensitivity of the infrared search and tracking (IRST) systems. Better resolution and ability to track objects in both horizontal and vertical angle has revamped the capabilities of infrared search and tracking (IRST) systems. Consequently, owing to the aforementioned merits, the adoption of infrared search and track (IRST) systems for defense and security applications have escalated significantly in the past few years. The market for infrared search and tracking systems is also expected to grow with the rising investments for defense and security. The governments across the globe are investing heavily for enhancing their defense capabilities. Incorporation of advanced technology in defense infrastructure is a growing trend closely observed by most the superpowers across the world such as the U.S., the U.K., Germany and others. Therefore, the infrared search and track (IRST) systems market is set to demonstrate a significant growth during the forecast period from 2017 to 2025.
At its most basic level, an Infrared Search and Track system is an infrared energy detection device that is usually fitted in a spherical glass enclosure on the front of a fighter aircraft. The systems scans the airspace ahead of the jet for heat signatures caused by aircraft engines and/or skin friction caused by the aircraft flying through the air. Once the system detects a target, it usually has an ability to lock that target up, or a way to facilitate the crew in slaving their fighter’s radar onto the point in space where that heat signature exists in order to attempt a radar lock. Modern variations of IRSTs can search out to intermediate ranges, track multiple targets and even engage other aircraft using its telemetry data alone.
Infrared Search And Track systems were commonplace, although questionably effective, on American fighters during the 1960s and 1970s, and saw widespread use on Russian fighters from the late 1970s on. The Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker series and MiG-29 Fulcrum series of fighters have all been fielded with an IRST ‘ball’ just below their windscreens. Source (foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com)
