3. Infrared Imaging Seekers



The evolution of infrared imaging seekers gave missile guidance systems formerly unheard-of accuracy. Imaging seekers produce detailed thermal images of possible targets unlike previous heat-seeking missiles that could only follow the hottest section of a target. This development helps missiles to identify particular target features and separate between decoys and real threats. Modern air defence systems centre on the system since it can run day or night and resists conventional countermeasures.
