Real Time Thermal Modeling: T72 Proof-of-Concept

7 Active Regions ID’d:

• Turret, gun-barrel, exhaust, engine compartment, treads, bogey-wheels and drive wheel
  

• 1D thermal systems and active boundary states ID’d, ie.

  • Exhaust Active thermal systems: Forced gas at 150C&20m/sec behind 5mm sheet metal and ambient air on outside surface
  • Exhaust Ambient Material system: ambient Tair&Vair on both sides of 4 inches of skirt metal

• Actual FLIR imagery normalized and used to create textured H(x,y) weighting function on 3D polygonal surface model (“percent mixture” of active and ambient material systems)
