TRANISTION AND CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN ELECTRONIC COMBAT DIGITAL MODELS AND HYBRID SIMULATORS

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS EFFORT ARE TO DESIGN THE CONNECTION OF A REAL TIME HYBRID SIMULATION OF AN INFRARED MISSILE DETECTION AND TRACKING SIMULATION TO AN EC DIGITAL MODEL (PROBABLY SUPPRESSOR). SUCH EC DIGITAL MODELS ARE EVENT DRIVEN AND CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING LOWER LEVEL DIGITAL MODELS LIKE ESAMS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED INPUTS TO THE HYBRID SIMULATION. THE DETERMINATION OF THE REAL TIME COMPUTING REQUIREMENTS AND THE NECESSARY HARDWARE ARE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM. SEVERAL EXISTING HYBRID MISSILE DETECTION SIMULATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED AS CANDIDATES INCUDING THE AAR-44, THE IRAR, AND THE FLY'S EYE SYSTEM. ONE OF THESE MODELS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED ADVANCED DECOY SIMULATIONS WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE HIGHER LEVEL EC DIGITAL SIMULATIONS.
