Semi-active homing missiles'test and evaluation system
Designation
The Test and Evaluation system is a hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) laboratory setup designed for:
- testing and evaluating the missiles behavior and miss distance in different scenarios, determining their behavior and the miss distance;
- testing the effectiveness of active and passive jamming, evaluating jamming immunity of the seeker
- IF Computer
- Control computer
- Display and user interface
- Local network switch
- RF Signal Generator
- Reserved hardware installation bay (5U panel)
- SUT (system-under-test) signals' generation and reception device
- Secondary power supply
- Uninterruptible power supply

Advantages
- High authenticity of modeling signals generated from different target types;
- High authenticity of modeling active and passive jamming;
- Interaction with the missile hardware in real time;
- Modeling the missile flight taking into account the influence of active and passive jamming;
- Possibility of creating different scenarios (target types, maneuvers, jamming impacts);
- Possibility of tuning the frequencies of the generated signals depending on the “letter” frequency used in the missile;
- Evaluation of the target hit by the warhead fragments;
- Possibility of connecting an external ECM Generator;
- Possibility of connecting additional measurement equipment;
- Built-in calibration and functional check system;
- System flexibility and expandability.
The Manufacturer's technical support and SPTA supply outside the warranty period will be provided throughout the system service life under a separate contract.
