Guidance, Navigation and Control. Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory. Volume 2. Task 2: Seeker Emulator Development

Abstract

A real-time Focal Plane Array Seeker Scene Emulator is described. Using real-time, positional updates, typically from the Parallel Function Processor, the Simple Seeker Scene Emulator (SSSE) can combine elements of a pre-computed database to form an image that is positionally and radiometrically correct. One problem issue with the SSSE is the use of pre-computed trajectories for the kill vehicle and targets. While this constraint is valid for many types of seeker testing, in some cases this should be avoided. Our goal with the ASSE is to avoid the use of canned scenarios, and additionally to provide: Wide FOV, Closed-Loop Operation; Increased Fidelity Nuclear Effects Modeling; Multispectral Capability; Complex Threat Geometry and Dynamics; Dynamic Tailoring/Selection of Scene Scenario; and LATS Seeker Model Anchored to LETS test Results.
