Threat Emulation Systems are an integral part of system verification during the development cycle of modern weapon systems. Early validation of detection and tracking algorithms, as well as, critical RF system parameters ensures success when its needed most. Giga-tronics Threat Emulation Systems (TEmS) allow engineers to emulate real-world environments from bench, chamber and hangar environments to help identify and fix design issues well before mission day.
Giga-tronics TEmS emulators provide benefits in four key areas:
Realism
–Emitters operating in battlespace must accurately model platform kinematic effects so that the intended receiver sees these signals impacted by effects such as antenna gain and scan patterns, path loss and Doppler.
High Signal Fidelity
– The Giga-tronics TEmS emulation system generate the signal environment with exceptional frequency range, signal bandwidth, phase noise, spurious-free dynamic range to accurately represent emitter environments the receiver will experience in battlespace.
Ease of Use
– Easily change the number of emitters, emitter modes, antenna patterns, platform movements and other mission parameters to rapidly simulate various scenarios. The Giga-tronics TEmS system allows users to easily change the receiver point of view to understand the RF environment from different platform perspectives.
Scalability
– Mission requirements can change quickly and the emulation system must be architected to scale in channel count, system bandwidth and closed-loop capability. The Giga-tronics TEmS is a COTS solution that allow users to scale channel count for both increasing emitter densities as well as emulating multi-port Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Time of Arrival (ToA) wavefronts.
