In 2012, a study looking back 35 years, indicated that 90% of all aircraft losses in battle were caused by infrared (IR) guided missiles [1, p.295]. Man portable air defence systems (MANPADS) are a cheap and prolific resource to both state and non-state actors that enables the employment of IR guided missiles. As such, significant time is required to be invested in developing effective countermeasures to ensure a fast jet can attain and sustain air superiority in operations. This article will provide a summary of the thesis by Glover [2] which aimed to develop a myriad of infrared based countermeasure techniques. Specifically, when a pseudo imaging, rosette scan IR seeker is employed against a fast jet with an ultraviolet (UV) guard band counter-countermeasure (CCM). A series of seven trials were simulated using Chemring’s CounterSim program to produce a spread of results based on the developed technique’s effectiveness. Several of these trials produced outcomes with a probability of escaping hit (PEH) greater than 97% across a range of altitudes. The successful techniques involve an assortment of concepts including employment of spectral flares, aircraft manoeuvring, multiflare patterns and the notion of masking.
