Distributed Source Generation for RF Environmental Modeling for Hardware-in-the-Loop Missile Guidance Simulation.

Abstract

The basic simulation philosophy of the Advanced Simulation Center (ASC) is to incorporate as much missile hardware as possible into simulation. Errors associated with modeling nonlinear devices are thus avoided while increasing credibility of the simulation. However, this places a special burden on the simulators to display a realsitic and comprehensive environment during the simulations because the seekers are stimulated at their operating wavelengths. The seeker is the more difficult subsystem to model properly and if it is to form valid responses to environmental stimuli, then the stimuli must portray the correct time, space and frequency characteristics of the target, clutter, ECM and multipath.
