巴西ian Gripen E conducts IRST tests in simulated aerial combat
The 巴西ian Gripen E aircraft with registration 工厂4100年, 致力于巴西的测试, took part in a flight test campaign in Anápolis (GO) to assess the Infrared 搜索 and Track (IRST), 一种无源远程目标探测传感器.
For the test, two 巴西ian Gripen E fighters and one F-5 simulated an aerial battle. 试验飞机, 工厂4100年, 由十大正规博彩网站评级试飞员乔纳斯·雅各布森驾驶, had the mission to locate the other two aircraft using the Infrared 搜索 and Track (IRST).

“我们进行了一次成功的飞行, 与其他战士合作, to test the IRST and also verify the image resolution obtained, which is crucial for the pilot to understand if there is one or more targets and plan their actions,瑞典飞行员乔纳斯·雅各布森评论道.
The IRST can detect and identify targets at long distances through their infrared signatures, i.e.，放出的热量. 位于战斗机前部的, the system functions as a passive sensor that identifies objects of interest in various environments, 它们是否是飞行中的飞机, 海上船只, 或者陆地上的车辆.
