HOTNOSE

HOTNOSE is an integrated thermal generator developed for infrared (IR) target simulation and thermal target generation. Running on diesel fuel, the system reaches high temperatures in a short time to produce a strong infrared signature. Thanks to its adjustable thermal contrast, it adapts to different mission scenarios and can operate continuously for extended periods.
