In this study, we analytically derived the Rytov variance and scintillation index value of turbulence caused by jet engines. In addition, we analyzed the variation characteristics of the Rytov variance and scintillation index values numerically depending on the variations in turbulence strength, experimental data, and wavelength. We observe that Rytov variance reaches up to high values due to the strong turbulence resulting from high refractive index fluctuations. This result brings high-intensity fluctuations regardless of the anisotropy of the turbulence. Rytov variance is directly proportional to turbulence strength. We present scintillation index curves considering the aperture averaged case. We plot our results considering the variations in the operating wavelength, turbulence strength, and the scaling parameter. According to our results, we think that it will be useful for a system such as directed infrared countermeasure (DIRCM), which is highly sensitive and should be exposed to minimum turbulence in the field of use. Since DIRCMs transmit codes to paralyze the missile’s seeker, intensity fluctuations play a vital role during this transmission. It could reduce the performance of these systems when intensity fluctuations are high.
