 Clear FLIR picture of "turned off" small boat engine in infrared

PACIFIC OCEAN (May 6, 2012) Alleged drug traffickers are seen in this still frame from a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) video camera from a U.S. Navy helicopter during interdiction operations in the eastern Pacific

In infrared, we can easily see the bright signature from the "turned off" engine from a small boat. A small boat engine has a maximum of approximately 25 horsepower. Each horsepower is equivalent to 745.7 watts. The maximum power from a small boat engine is 18.6 kilo-Watts.

A DDG-1000 generates 78 MegaWatts. The infrared signature of a DDG-1000 is 4,194 times brighter than the infrared picture shown above for a dinky little boat.

The point is that there is no way to hide the infrared signature of a 78 MegaWatt 15,000-ton ship on cool ocean water. It is impossible with current known technology.

Hence, the U.S. Navy canceled the DDG-1000. Only an idiot would spend $7 billion per DDG-1000 that the Chinese can sink with a $1 million C-802 infrared-seeking anti-ship missile.
