Impacts of Distributed Simulation on Electronic Warfare Test Results

Abstract

The Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Joint Test Force was chartered by Office of the Secretary of Defense to investigate the utility of advanced distributed simulation (ADS) technology to test and evaluation (T&E). JADS executed three test programs (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; precision guided munitions; and electronic warfare EW) representing slices of the overall T&E spectrum as well as observing other activity within the T&E community to form its conclusions. One of the slices, the Electronic Warfare Test, used the high level architecture in the creation of a synthetic environment to recreate a series of open air range flight test events. This paper discusses the JADS EW Test results with particular emphasis on the performance of the synthetic environment, the impacts of ADS on the EW Test results, and the lessons learned.
