About

Mikael Petersson is a researcher in electronic warfare and directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM), with a focus on modeling and simulation of defense systems. His most-cited work, "Real-time DIRCM system modeling" (2004), addresses the critical role of DIRCM in countering infrared-guided threats, examining how atmospheric factors like attenuation and turbulence, as well as platform vibrations, affect system performance. Though his citation counts are modest, this foundational paper has contributed to the understanding of real-time modeling in electronic warfare, offering insights into the practical challenges of protecting aircraft from heat-seeking missiles. Petersson’s research bridges theoretical modeling and applied defense technology, highlighting the interplay between environmental conditions and countermeasure effectiveness. His work is particularly relevant for students and engineers exploring infrared countermeasures, system simulation, and the operational constraints of electronic warfare systems. By focusing on the real-time aspects of DIRCM, he has helped advance the reliability and accuracy of these critical defense tools.
