Abstract
An in-flight simulator for an integrated aircraft survivability equipment system controlling radar warning receiver and a radar jammer with countermeasures control provides a training module which emulates the existence of airborne threats. The airborne threats are provided in real time as if they were detected by a threat detection system such as a radar warning receiver or a radar jammer. A list of threats is provided for either a radar warning receiver or pulse radar jammer, a continuous radar jammer, an RF/IR missile approach detector or a laser that threat on a display, includes that threat in a candidate list and executes various threat proximity algorithms with the candidate list. The invention determines whether the threat is within the range hidden by terrain or beyond the horizon. The threat simulator performs aircraft survivability equipment sensor model simulation. Threats are also prioritized.
