Hey thanks that actually explains it quite well. Since you and gf0012-aust obviously know what you?re talking about can you explain some of the limitations to IRST are? You can often read about these fantastic detection ranges and how they are a counter to low observables yet the principle users of LO platforms don?t seem to be loosing any sleep over them. I know for instance that LM states that the F-22 has balanced observables (referring to IR and radar) and it posses a low supersonic IR signature but that could mean many things such has simply not using blower which undoubted reduces your signature dramatically.
