JTE simulates anti-aircraft missiles and other radar threats to military aircraft

摘要

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah - U.S. Air Force flight training experts are asking the Northrop Grumman Corp. Amherst Systems segment in Buffalo, N.Y., to build realistic simulation and training equipment to help Air Force combat aircraft crews learn to evade anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft artillery, and other radar threats. Officials of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, announced a $10.4 million order for two wideband Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) units. The JTE transmits RF signals that simulate single-and double-digit, surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery radar systems to provide training for combat aircrews by creating a modern, reactive battlespace war environment.
