MULTISPECTRAL TARGET GENERATOR

THE MULTISPECTRAL TARGET GENERATION SYSTEM (MSTG) IS PROPOSED WHICH WILL PROVIDE DYNAMIC, HIGH-FIDELITY STIMULUS TO DUAL MODE SEEKERS. THE MSTG WILL SUPPORT TEST AND EVALUATION OF ANTI-AIR MISSILE SYSTEMS WHICH EMPLOY ACTIVE RF AND TWO SPECTRUM IR SEEKER SYSTEMS. THE MSTG WILL PROVIDE MULTISPECTRAL STIMULUS REPRESENTING MISSILE ENGAGEMENTS INVOLVING 1-ON-1, OR 1-ON-MANY, WITH COMPLETE FREEDOM OF (SIMULATED) MOTION OF THE IN-THE-LOOP SEEKER. THE MSTG WILL GENERATE COMPLEX, EXTENDED SOURCE TARGETS AND WILL BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE TEST FLIGHT SCENARIOS TO SUPPORT LABORATORY/FLIGHT TEST DATA CORRELATION. IR ECM AND RF ECM WILL BE MODELED. THE MSTG DESIGN IS BASED ON CURRENT AMHERST SYSTEMS PRODUCT EFFORTS. SEEKER DESIGN ANALYSES AND INFORMATION EXCHANGES WITH THE SPONSOR WILL BE PERFORMED TO TAILOR THE MSTG DESIGN TO THE SPONSOR'S REQUIREMENTS.
