ABSTRACT:
A Missile Launch and Flyout Simulator (MLFS) for simulating the UV and IR flight characteristics of an incoming missile throughout its launch, powered flight and post burnout phases, as would be viewed by a missile launch detection and tracking system. The simulator produces a UV output to simulate the launch of a missile, and an IR output to simulate the powered flight and post burnout phases of the missile's flight. In addition, the IR output ramps up in intensity during the simulated powered flight phase before dropping off to a simulated post burnout phase level, as would the IR signature of a real incoming missile. The simulator can also be programmable such that the duration of the emulated powered flight time, as well as the minimum and maximum IR intensity, can be varied to mimic the characteristics of the missile being simulated. In addition, the rate at which the IR intensity increases can be programmed so as to simulate different speeds of missile convergence to its target. The simulator is also portable and capable of being remotely triggered so that it can be used in isolated locations or on moving platforms.
