Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Electronic Warfare (EW) Baseline Testing
Abstract
This paper describes the methodologies and implementations used by the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Electronic Warfare (EW) Test team to establish baseline performance data from testing at the open air range (OAR) and a hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) facility, the U.S. Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator (AFEWES). The AFEWES laboratory's real-time, actual-frequency simulations of radio frequency (RF) guided surface-to-air-missiles (SAMs) and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) projectiles were used to supplement data shortfalls from OAR threat system testing of an aircraft self-protection EW suite. Key points of discussion include: (1) gathering/evaluating OAR repeatable baseline data; (2) gathering/evaluating HITL repeatable baseline data; and (3) building JADS EW Test end-to-end scenarios. The Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California, manages both the OAR and AFEWES; the later is located at Air Force Plant Number 4 in Fort Worth, Texas.
