The Poly Systems PSIRES technology concept demonstration unit

infrared engine & exhaust heat suppressor (PSIRES)

Poly Systems in collaboration with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation has researched, designed and provisionally patented the PSIRES with primary applications in military land, sea and air assets as a defence camouflage of engine and exhaust plume heat sources by providing IR radiation and signature suppression, without degrading engine performance, against enemy activated heat-seeking missiles (MANPADS).

With over seven years invested in the R&D of liquid CO2 as an alternative energy source, Poly Systems has an internationally-acknowledged expertise in applying this new technology to resolve identified scientific issues.

The PSIRES would be supplied either as OEM or in a ‘bolt-on' capability for retrofitting in the field as a low-cost countermeasure for use with IR jammers and flare dispensers.

Poly Systems IR Exhaust Suppressor Technology has been designed to cost effectively increase the survivability of military and civilian assets.

The Poly Systems Infra Red Exhaust Suppressor is designed to: disrupt and reduce the threat of heat-seeking missiles from targeting the exhaust heat signatures of air (fixed-rotary wing), terrestrial and marine - turbine engine assets introduce liquid CO2 and ambient air directly into the exhaust system - the CO2 rapidly expands within the exhaust tube the resulting in an accelerated temperature reduction of the surrounding gases – chilling to near ambient and electronically monitored to allow temperature modulation throughout the exhaust suppressor process enhance asset survivability in conjunction with traditional counter-measures	It is of critical importance to conjunctively reduce the IR signature of exhaust gases, engine cowlings and adjacent panel surfaces, and this is passively achieved by splitting the induced cyclonic flow and applying approximately 20 of the flow to remove engine cowling heat. Liquid CO2 is only necessary for 100 IR suppression on take-off, landing or to counter a missile attack. Poly Systems has identified that a 60+ IP suppression rate can be achieved by using only the cyclonically charged airflow.

Description

Pertinent information

The Poly Systems Infra Red Exhaust Suppressor is designed to:

disrupt and reduce the threat of heat-seeking missiles from targeting the exhaust heat signatures of air (fixed-rotary wing), terrestrial and marine - turbine engine assets
introduce liquid CO2 and ambient air directly into the exhaust system - the CO2 rapidly expands within the exhaust tube the resulting in an accelerated temperature reduction of the surrounding gases – chilling to near ambient and electronically monitored to allow temperature modulation throughout the exhaust suppressor process
enhance asset survivability in conjunction with traditional counter-measures

It is of critical importance to conjunctively reduce the IR signature of exhaust gases, engine cowlings and adjacent panel surfaces, and this is passively achieved by splitting the induced cyclonic flow and applying approximately 20 of the flow to remove engine cowling heat. Liquid CO2 is only necessary for 100 IR suppression on take-off, landing or to counter a missile attack. Poly Systems has identified that a 60+ IP suppression rate can be achieved by using only the cyclonically charged airflow.

Aircraft use for rotary/fixed wing engines and airframes
