Development of Infrared and Millimeter Wave Scene Generators for the P3I BAT High Fidelity Flight Simulation

Abstract

The Pre-planned Product Improvement (P3I) Brilliant Anti-Armor BAT submunition High Fidelity Flight Simulation (HFS) is an all-digital, nonreal-time simulation that combines the P3I BAT Six-Degrees-of-Freedom (6-DOF), a high fidelity dual mode seeker model, tactical flight software, and infrared (IR) / millimeter-wave (MMW) scene generation to produce a tool capable of system design, algorithm development and performance assessment. The HFS development methodology emphasizes the use of high fidelity IR and MMW imagery so that the seeker algorithms / tactical software can be incorporated to form a Software-In-The-Loop (SWIL) simulation. The IR and MMW scene generators use validated IR and MMW target signatures with correlated IR and MMW backgrounds to produce a realistic scene for a variety of battlefield scenarios. Both the IR and MMW scene generators have evolved with the availability high performance computational capability and system development to meet the design and performance assessment requirements of the P3I BAT program.KeywordsTarget ModelDepression AngleScene GeneratorCollect Measurement DataClutter ModelThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
