CFMETR2015 trial plan : infrared ship wakes signatures measurement / V. Issa, DRDC - Valcartier Research Centre.: D68-9/52-2018E-PDF

"In a defense context, wake measurement is a capability that, in addition to being indispensable for our infrared wake modeling validation, allows ship vulnerability assessment and studies that can enhance ship positioning and recognition algorithms. Although, ship wakes are complex dynamic disturbance of the sea surface. Unlike the ships, their total length extends up to many kilometers downstream the ship which makes their infrared signature measurements an even more challenging problem than the infrared measurement of the ship platform itself. Furthermore, the infrared signature of a ship wakes depends on ship design, configuration and operational parameters, climatic and environmental information, time and geographical position and the receiver characteristics and position. Hence, gathering all resources required for infrared wake measurement trial results in an expensive and logistically challenging trial"--Abstract.
