Joint Installed System Test Facility (JISTF) Infrared Sensor Simulation/ Stimulation Enhancement: Dynamic Virtual Reality Simulation/Stimulation Technologies for Test, Evaluaiton, and Training

摘要

The combination of declining investments in test assets and increasing test requirements dictates the coordinated and innovative development of modeling, simulation and emerging technologies to maximize use of scarce testing and training investment resources. This paper addresses the capabilities and development of the JISTF IRSS system under the sponsorship of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Central Test and Evaluation Program (CTEIP). IRSS is a modular cost effective system that will be used to generate high fidelity IR scenes for stimulation of installed IR Electro-Optic (EO) sensors on aerospace platforms undergoing integrated developmental and operational testing. The IRSS will be capable of stimulating multiples types of sensors such as Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), Missile Warning Systems (MES), Infrared Search and Track (IRST) and Missile Seekers.
