Real-Time System-Level Integrated Testing

摘要

The Integrated System Test Capability (ISTC) is being developed as the primary Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) ground test asset for the National Missile Defense (NMD) system. It provides the opportunity to test all NMD processors and operational software in an integrated systems context prior to flight test, and then provide, in evolutionary fashion, performance extrapolation to a representative NMD Cl capability system. This paper discusses the representation of the Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) in IS TC; tools and techniques used to meet ISTC test requirements, including real-time target signature and image generation; and current status and results.
