Threat Simulator Development
Abstract
This PE provides funding for the elements necessary to support the Air Force Electronic Warfare (EW) Test Process, including Directed Energy (DE). This test process provides a scientific methodology to ensure the effective disciplined and efficient testing of EW and avionics systems. Each capability or facility improvement is pursued in concert with the others to avoid duplicate capabilities while at the same time producing the proper mix of test resources needed to support the AF EW Test Process and testing of EW systems which can be used in any action involving the use of electromagnetic and DE to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy. This PE provides funding for the management and technical oversight of implementation activities, development and improvement of digital EW models, measurement facilities improvements, hardware-in-the-loop test facilities improvements, and installed system test facility improvements. Support includes requirements definition and analysis, project planning, programming and budgeting, technical oversight, and application of T&E facility Improvement & Modernization (I&M). Products include studies, analyses, improved Modeling & Simulation (M&S) of threat sources, improved or new T&E capabilties to support EW testing and related documentation. Additionally, this PE provides funding to support the acquisition and analysis efforts of the Foreign Materiel Program and EW intelligence efforts. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
