Simulation of a multiple element test environment

摘要

A real-time simulation of a multiple element defensive test environment is under study and development. This simulation is to be used for evaluating performance of command and control systems. The initial version of the simulation generates simultaneously up to twenty aircraft each with up to two jamming devices. The overall approach is to generate aircraft tracks and jamming returns at a large scale central digital computer. This data is then transmitted to remote radar sites and converted by on-site equipment to analog signals which are injected into the radar circuitry. A unique feature of the approach is that both real and simulated aircraft will be observed and tracked simultaneously by radar operators.
