Methodologies for Accurate Assessment of Target Characteristics

IERUS Technologies will provide a unique capability to MDA allowing dramatic enhancement of simulation speed and accuracy for RF signature characterization of missile defense targets or threats. Not only has IERUS demonstrated understanding of the MDA RF signature modeling problem, but IERUS personnel are experts in RF prediction software as demonstrated through 1) the release of V-Lox, IERUSs commercial electromagnetics software, 2) numerous publications in academic journals and conferences, and 3) past performance on MDA and other DoD programs. IERUS personnel have over 20 years of experience in target signature characterization for the Missile Defense Agency, and IERUS currently supports RF signature predictions for MDA/TC as subcontractors to Lockheed-Martin Corporation (LM). IERUS is prepared to address these challenges by continuing development of V-Lox with a goal of creating the worlds fastest and most accurate CEM solver. Leveraging progress from Phase 1, IERUS will continue its plan to implement several additional performance features with a goal of demonstrating fast and accurate solutions of problems with >5 million unknowns. Furthermore, utilizing IERUSs wealth of RF device design and measurement expertise, IERUS will conduct a verification and validation study on problems of current interest to MDA, demonstrating the accuracy of V-Lox with unprecedented detail.
