ABSTRACT:
A test system for evaluating the performance of a seeking missile's guidance system under realistic but laboratory-controlled conditions wherein the guidance system is segregated from an actual missile but used to control a multiple degrees of freedom seeker capturing apparatus. The multiple degrees of freedom seeker capturing apparatus is allowed to respond to the seeker's commands in simultaneous of the actual missile's responses to such commands. The test system also provides for the introduction of countermeasures information to the seeker's input field. The test systems may be embodied with the addition of movable elements, e.g., infrared sources to a five-axis flight table apparatus and may employ computer control of the test conditions and results evaluation. Use of the disclosed system to test improved countermeasures devices against known seeker capabilities is also contemplated.
