坦克红外特征控制技术评述

坦克红外特征控制对于提高坦克的战场生存能力具有重要意义。控制的主要方法有遮障、表面处理、外形技术、主动冷却、总体设计等。坦克红外特征的控制必须与其他波段，特别是射频波段的特性控制兼容。遮障和低发射率涂料是现役坦克红外特征控制的主要措施。而对未来的主战坦克，设计应是减少其系统特性的重要途径。

An Overview of the Infrared Signature Control Techniques for Tank

Suppression of the infrared signature of tanks helps increase their survivability. Signature control can be accomplished with a variety of methods such as obscuration, surface appliques, shape tailoring, active cooling and integrated designs. In addition to infrared, the technique chosen must be compatible with signature control in other bands especially the radio frequency(RF) band. Obscuration and the application of low emissivity paint are the primary measures of infrared signa ture control for tanks being in service. The integrated designs, however, are the most economical, operationally useful, and long lasting signature control solutions for future tanks.
