Advanced Refractive Effects Prediction System (AREPS)

Abstract

In 1987, SSC San Diego fielded the Integrated Refractive Effects Prediction System (IREPS), the world's first electromagnetic prediction system for shipboard use. Advances in research and technology have led to the replacement of IREPS with the Advanced Refractive Effects Prediction System (AREPS). AREPS computes and displays radar probability of detection, propagation loss and signal-to-noise ratios, electronic-support-measures vulnerability, UHF/VHF communications, and surface-borne surface-search radar capability versus range, height, and bearing from the transmitter.
