JADS JT&E End-to-End Test Interim Report Phase 1
Abstract
The JADS ETE team investigated existing simulations of Joint STARS and determined that none of the existing simulations met the fidelity requirements. Northrop Grumman, the developer of the E-8C, performed the engineering and development of both a laboratory emulation of the E-8C radar subsystem and the capability to integrate the E-8C into a synthetic environment. The VSTARS is a laboratory emulation of the E-8C radar subsystem and other aircraft components which can receive synthetic targets from a DIS network and provide the stimulus to display these targets on the Advanced Technology Work Station (ATWS) or on the ground station module. The radar processor simulator and integrator (RPSI) and the air network interface unit (ANIU) are the portions of the VSTARS which are installed on the aircraft.
