Abstract

Amherst Systems has previously developed a Real-time IR/EO Scene Simulator (RISS) for use in reactive, hardware-in-the-loop testing of infrared sensor systems. This paper will report on how RISS is currently being used to test and develop a variety of sensor systems, with emphasis on the use of both measured and modeled signature data to create test scenarios. Ongoing efforts to utilize models and data such as DIRSIG, RadTherm, MuSES, TERTEM, and PRA WITMaps will be examined, and their relevance to specific testing requirements will be explored. For example, Amherst Systems has recently completed an effort for a U.S. Government organization to construct a suite of operational scenarios to be used in conjunction with its previously installed RISS in order to stimulate a specific IR/EO sensor in a test environment. These scenarios used both measured and modeled data. This paper will explain how data from several sources were assembled into cohesive scenarios to model real, operational environments and engagements. It will detail the sources for all measured data that were used throughout the scenario development process. It will also explain how readily available, government-furnished models (such as MODTRAN, DISAMS, SPF/SPURC, and BLUEMAX) were used to construct these integrated scenarios, making validation of the scenarios much more feasible.
