This report presents a case study comparison of two different models of SHIP infrared SIGnatures (SHIPSIG and TCM2) that are implemented into performance prediction codes for airborne, Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) systems. For this comparison, surface and vertical profile measurements of meteorological parameters were used with a modified version of the LOWTRAN 6 optical propagation code to remove the atmospheric effects on individual images of the Research Vessel Point Sur as recorded by an airborne AGEMA thermal imaging system. The average ship's temperatures determined at zero-range are then compared with those predicted by the two ship temperature models during clear sky conditions when the ship's heading changed to allow preferential heating of one side of the ship.
