Reconfigurable, Real-Time Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)

MTL Systems, Inc. (MTL) and Calspan Corporation propose to develop and qualify the preliminary design of a Reconfigurable, Real-time Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) simulation. The development will take advangtage of existing development platforms and performance modeling tools to develop and demonstrate critical aspects of the design in Phase I. The first objective is to design the RWR simulation software. The J-MASS tool will be employed to design the necessary modularity and reconfigurablility and to demonstrate the design concepts. The second objective is to design the real-time computing system. Existing and proven computing system performance modeling tools and techniques will be used to design and demonstrate the real-time computing system design. The third objective is to design the overall RWR system and the fourth is to design the interfaces into a host facility. These will be accomplished through standard and tested system engineering and integration modules and designs. Through the demonstrations of modularity, reconfigurability and execution speed performance, the design will be established as both feasible and ready for direct transition into a Phase II simulator development program.
