Context-Oriented In-Line Stimulation (COILS)

The proposed concept for Context-Oriented In-Line Stimulation (COILS) uses fundamental mission conditions, system design parameters and operational configurations to provide context for rendering of simulated missiles. The Phase 1 effort demonstrated novel Radar Cross Section (RCS) statistical representations and the potential for fully automated, coherent point scatterer representations, which could be fast and compact enough to run in-line. The proposed Phase 2 further develops these concepts and verifies their performance through a verification and validation (V&V) effort focused on perception-based signature features. The end goal of the effort is to produce a system capable of providing consistent in-line signatures at the component level. This will dramatically improve production timelines.
