Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System Market Scope, Trends, Future Demand 2027

Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System Market - Introduction

Infrared search & track (IRST) system refer to a method of detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation such as in jet aircraft and helicopters, the IRTS is being widely used in the military and defense sector for security and surveillance. The applications of Infrared search and track technology promises to enhance sensor suites for next-generation fighter aircraft, especially when it comes to spotting stealth aircraft without using radar. Further, one could find out infrared search & track (IRST) system applications and examples on the nose of many modern fighter jets such as the Eurofighter Typhoon and you'll spot a large bulbous lump coming from just near the cockpit.

The Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System are expected to be increasing in the future as these are used to detect the vehicles and devices that give out infrared radiation. This is used mostly in jet planes and aircraft. The biggest advantage of the IRST system is that they dont give off any infrared radiation of themselves which makes them difficult to detect unlike in RADAR which gives off an infrared signature of itself.

Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System Market - Competitive Landscape

• On March 2019, Boeing and Lockheed Martin has decided to make stealthy infrared search and track (IRST) avionics for F-15C jet fighter. US Air Force air combat experts asked electro-optics engineers at the Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. to design and build six additional infrared search and track (IRST) sensors for the F-15C Eagle jet fighter to enable the aircraft to detect, track, and attack enemy aircraft in a stealthy way without making its presence known.
