MULTI-THREAT ENGAGEMENT SIMULATOR (MTES)

MTL PROPOSES TO PERFORM THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN FOR A MULTI-THREAT ENGAGEMENT SIMULATOR (MTES), AND TO DEMONSTRATE THE CRITICAL ASPECTS OF THAT DESIGN THROUGH SIMULATION. THE APPROACH WILL BE TO UTILIZE CMCHARACTERIZATION, PROVED AND EFFECTIVE SYSTEM FOR MULTI-SPECTRAL, MULTIPLE THREAT SIMULATION. THE CM CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUE WILL BE EMBEDDED WITHIN A TMES SYSTEM WHICH WILL PROVIDE READY RE-CONFIGUARTION, EASY ADDITION OF NEW THREATS, AND EFFICIENT INTERFACING TO AN ELECTRONIC COMBAT SIMULATOR, SUCH AS THE INTEGRATED DEFENSIVE AVIONICS LABORATORY (IDAL) AT WRDEC. STATE CHART TECHNIQUES,IMPLEMENTED THROUGH NEUREL NETS, CELLULAR AUTOMATED, OR MIMD ARCHITECTURES WILL BE CONSIDERED AS MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CM CHARACTERIZATION IN REAL-TIME. AS A PART OF THE DESIGN EFFORT, CRITICAL ASPECTS OF THE DESIGN WILL BE IDENTIFIED, SIMULATED, TESTED AND DEMONSTRATED, TO ENSURE A LOW-RISK DESIGN AND SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MTES.
