Advanced Radar Threat System (ARTS) Development
Abstract
The Advanced Radar Threat System (ARTS) program will develop, design, build and test threat system simulators based on advanced foreign fielded surface-to-air missile (SAM) radar threat systems. ARTS is designed to be used at Department of Defense (DoD) training ranges for aircrew training and tactics development to increase combat effectiveness and aircrew survivability by training aircrews to engage or defend against an advanced SAM threat before encountering it in actual combat. Various aircraft platforms may train against ARTS, but the most stringent requirements placed on ARTS design come from fifth generation aircraft capabilities. The ARTS-Variant 1 (ARTS-V1) is focused on strategic, long-range, re-locatable radar threat systems while ARTS-Variant 2 (ARTS-V2) is focused on tactical, mobile, short/medium-range radar threat systems. Additionally, ongoing analyses, studies, and risk reduction efforts will focus on integrating ARTS and other systems into a Live Virtual Constructive architecture.
