Abstract
An infrared signature suppression system for reducing infrared radiation emitted by a vehicle. The system includes an elongate duct mounted on the vehicle having a hollow interior extending along an axial centerline between an upstream end and a downstream end for transporting exhaust gas emitted by the vehicle, and a baffle positioned in the hollow interior of the duct between the upstream end and the downstream end. At least a portion of at least one of the duct and the baffle includes an emissivity coating for reducing infrared radiation emitted by the vehicle.
