Abstract
Electronic warfare (EW) systems aboard surface ships have become increasingly complex and currently face multiple simultaneous threats. The primary shipboard EW system in the United States Navy is the AN/SLQ-32 system, which is designed to provide detection and active jamming against incoming missile threats. The AN/ULM-4 test range has been utilized to conduct operational readiness testing of this system for many years. Numerous deficiencies of the AN/ULM-4 have been identified and documented. The complexity of current EW systems has demanded that the capabilities of the AN/ULM-4 test range be significantly improved. The redesign of the AN/ULM-4 to correct these deficiencies is presented. This redesign represents a significant increase in test range capability which has been debated and discussed for over ten years. Particular attention is paid to effects certain design constraints had on the decision making process during the course of the redesign.
