Threat Simulator Development
Abstract
This is a continuing program that consolidates the design, fabrication and integration of Naval Electronic Warfare (EW) threat simulators for increased managerial emphasis and coordination. These simulator development efforts provide realistic Developmental and Operational Test and Evaluation environments to test EW systems and defensive tactics. These projects develop threat Anti-Air and Anti-Ship weapon system simulators in accordance with the Services' requirements. The 0602 Project, Electronic Warfare Environment Simulation, directly supports the Test and Evaluation 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, Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures Suite ALQ-214, the AAR-47 (v) 3, AVR-2, ALQ-144A, Joint Strike Fighter, EA-18G, LR700, Low Band Transmitter, P-8A, and the Next Generation Jammer. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST and EVALUATION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT because it supports efforts directed toward sustaining or modernizing installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The funding increase from FY 2017 to FY 2018 supports upgrades to the Naval Air Warfare Center land and sea ranges to close capability gaps identified during the operational test (OT) planning for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) by Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E). The gaps exist in several categories including threat density, type of threat and representation of specific threat systems and, if not mitigated, will prevent an effective OT for JSF. The requested funding will procure 12 systems, in four categories, that increase the threat density, threat type and specific threat representation and upgrade an additional two systems to provide a higher fidelity representation of several threat types. Additionally, funding supports the initiation of site preparation and integration for radar signal emulators and the requirement to purchase additional materials for the open air radio frequency beam measurement capability. The funding increase in the ENEWS program from FY17 to FY18 reflects the addition of one hardware simulator to the Effectiveness of Navy Electronic Warfare Systems (ENEWS) hardware simulators to support the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 3.
