Integrated Laboratory: Real-Time Interactive Communications Simulation.

摘要

The Avionics Laboratory, Wright Patterson Air Force Base OH, is developing capabilities to perform Research and Development (R&D)/Test and Evaluation (T&E) of advanced avionics technologies. The Integrated Electromagnetic System Simulator (lESS), Integrated Test Bed (ITB), and the Integrated Defensive Avionics Laboratory (IDAL) are key Avionics Laboratory facilities that enable development of these capabilities. lESS supports R&D/T&E of integrated Communication, Navigation, Identification (CNI) systems. ITB supports R&D/T&E of advanced avionics architectures. IDAL supports R&D/T&E of advanced Electronic Warfare (EW)/Electronic Counter Measures (ECH) technologies. This paper describes how these facilities could be interfaced to provide a realistic, interactive communications simulation that produces real, dynamic, Radio Frequency (RF) signals to evaluate approaching integrated avionics technologies including Integrated Communication, Navigation, Identification Avionics (ICNIA), PAVE PILLAR, PAVE PACE, and Integrated Electronic Warfare System (INEWS).
