Eletronics W/F Env Simulation (ECHO)

Abstract

The objective of this project is development of necessary simulation facilities and approaches to allow determination of the effectiveness of Electronic Warfare (EW) in real world engagement situations and to support the introduction of modern, effective systems into Naval Aviation. The heavy use of test resources by all Services demonstrates the importance of these assets. The Electronic Warfare Environment Simulation project is unique because it is the only program within the Department of Defense which develops and provides Naval anti-air warfare threat assets for Test and Evaluation (T&E). This project directly supports the T&E resource requirements for all Naval Air EW development programs, to include multi-spectral situational awareness and countermeasures. Programs in development and future programs include: : ALR-67(v)3 Radar Warning Receiver, ALQ-214 Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures Suite, AAR-47 Missile Approach Warning System, AVR-2 Laser Warning System, ALQ-144A Infrared Countermeasure System, Joint Strike Fighter, EA-18G, LR700 Low Band Transmitter, P-8A and the Next Generation Jammer. This project provides for the development of an Integrated Air Defense T&E capability to be fielded at each of the three sites comprising the Navy's Tri-Center complex: Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake and Point Mugu in CA, and Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD.
