Explore a growing library of ground vehicle target models, each meticulously designed for high thermal accuracy and infrared renderings. All this is wrapped in a user-friendly interface that empowers you to fully control your simulations, giving you the confidence to tackle even the most complex scenarios.
Proven Thermal Accuracy
All target models can be simulated as they operate on the field. These vehicle operating scenarios include tactical idle, cruise, towing, and on and off-engine states. Models capture all the contributors to vehicle heating with exceptional accuracy. These include heating sources derived from driving the vehicle, such as engine heating, exhaust gases leaving the vehicle, bearing heating, tire or road wheel hysteresis, and track heating for tracked vehicles. In addition to these, we incorporate any additional and significant heat sources, such as auxiliary power units (APUs), radar systems, or other electronic components. These heat sources represent conduction, convection, thermal, and solar radiation, resulting in an incredibly accurate thermal representation of any ground target.
Simple Set Up and Customization
MuSES' intuitive graphics-based interface and menus make setting up and adjusting model parameters a breeze. The simulation parameters are user-facing and can be easily adjusted to fit any scenario you have in mind. You can select a part’s material from our detailed database to change material properties, surface conditions, paints, and thicknesses and add custom heating or convection routines within the model. Modifying the operating environment, such as the weather or global position of the model, or creating multiple modeling scenarios, including vehicle headings, engine states, and driving speeds, can be done easily.
Comprehensive Ground Models, Custom Solutions
Throughout ThermoAnalytics' history of pioneering thermal simulation solutions, we've meticulously crafted and curated an extensive database of thermal ground vehicle models encompassing a spectrum of military and commercial targets. This comprehensive collection and our ability to offer bespoke solutions tailored to specific requirements ensure we can meet even the most unique modeling needs, providing you with a wide range of options.
High-Quality Infrared Renderings
MuSES ground vehicle targets can easily be viewed and rendered as they would appear through the eyes of an EO/IR sensor. After a model has been properly set up, MuSES will run a transient analysis of the ground vehicle and predict the physical temperatures of the vehicle and the environment. Once this is finished, we can consider optical surface properties, such as paints on the vehicle and any atmospheric effects between the sensor and the target via MODTRAN. This accurately represents what a real sensor would see in the field. MuSES and our ground vehicle target models have been an industry gold standard for over 25 years due to our ability to effectively simulate infrared radiosity and sensor effects, giving you confidence in the accuracy of our simulations.
Areas of Expertise
Industry-Leading Signature Management
MuSESTM (Multi-Service Electro-Optic Signature) is an industry-leading signature management software that provides complete thermal modeling and infrared signature prediction capabilities. MuSESTM allows you to simulate any environment or condition and generate accurate EO/IR signature predictions. It provides many powerful features allowing you to model vehicles, aircraft plumes, ship wakes, humans, atmospheric effects, and more.
ThermoAnalytics has supported the defense industry for over two decades with expertise, software, and engineering services.
As the global leader in EO/IR simulation, we provide low observables design and the technology to virtually assess target-background contrast anywhere on earth. Electro-optics and infrared signature are extensively employed for target acquisition and guidance systems. However, the target itself is only part of the radiance solution; our technologies include the effectiveness of background source radiance, solar loads, even diffuse sky radiance. By developing software-based in physics, we bring EO/IR reality into focus.
Producing large datasets of accurate, photorealistic EO/IR images for training, machine learning, signature management optimization, testing, & evaluation. ThermoAnalytics develops physics-based radiometric MuSESTM models and generates 2D and 3D EO/IR datasets with sensor-specific characteristics.
