Keywords: aircraft signatures, information entropy, survivability, Low Observable technology

In this paper a methodology and an integrated model of aircraft signatures assessment are discussed. The aircraft information entropy (AIE) function including the four aircraft signatures (radar, IR, visual and aural) is developed which can be interpreted as the priori average uncertainty of aircraft in the detecting scenario.
