PC Based Infrared Scene Generation Development

Abstract

The U.S. Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator (AFEWES) is a government-owned, contractor-operated electronic warfare test facility located at Air Force Plant 4, in Fort Worth, Texas. The AFEWES is a Test and Evaluation (T&E) resource of the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), 412 Electronic Warfare Group (EWG), Edwards Air Force Base, California. AFEWES' mission is to perform effectiveness testing of Department of Defense (DoD) and allied electronic countermeasure techniques to enhance aircraft and aircrew survivability in combat. This paper describes the multi-service and contractor team that successfully defined, designed, developed, tested and implemented state of the art infrared PC based scene generator to be used by DoD. The paper also highlights: Team requirements and low cost solution, Leveraging government owned assets and developing partnerships across DoD.
