Abstract

An innovative concept for in-house laboratory research, test and evaluation is being developed within the Avionics Directorate of Wright Laboratory. This concept involves placing advanced avionics hardware and software technologies into realistic testing environments analogous to placing test structures in a wind tunnel environment; hence, the title Avionics Wind Tunnel. These environments are generated, controlled and coordinated through pilot-in-the-loop interactions with a high level engagement model called SUPPRESSOR. SUPPRESSOR simulates a combat environment complete with reactive threats and friendly forces providing communications, jamming, radar, and counter-measures events. The event data and platform movements are used by distributed simulators placed around a real-time simulation network which produces a realistic environment to evaluate avionics technologies. The goal of this concept is to provide an inter-lab capability to perform research, test and evaluation on advanced integrated avionics technologies related to data fusion, integrated communication, navigation, identification (CNI), integrated electronic combat (EC), secure communications, and integrated avionics architectures. Engineers in the Avionics Directorate have been developing real-time interfaces to support joint CNI/EC demonstrations and experiments using the Integrated Test Bed (ITB), Integrated Electromagnetic System Simulator (IESS), Communications System Evaluation Laboratory (CSEL) and Integrated Defensive Avionics Laboratory (IDAL). This paper defines the Avionics Wind Tunnel concept, examines its benefits, and describes the current capabilities and future potential of this development.<>

航空电子风洞实验室接口开发

Wright实验室的航空电子设备理事会正在开发一种用于内部实验室研究、测试和评估的创新概念。这一概念涉及将先进的航空电子硬件和软件技术置于现实的测试环境中，类似于将测试结构置于风洞环境中;因此，标题航空电子风洞。这些环境的产生、控制和协调都是通过一个高层次的参与模型——SUPPRESSOR——来实现的。SUPPRESSOR模拟了一个具有反应性威胁和友军提供通信、干扰、雷达和反措施事件的战斗环境。事件数据和平台运动被放置在实时仿真网络周围的分布式模拟器使用，从而产生一个真实的环境来评估航空电子技术。该概念的目标是提供一个跨实验室的能力，对与数据融合、综合通信、导航、识别(CNI)、综合电子战(EC)、安全通信和综合航空电子架构相关的先进综合航空电子技术进行研究、测试和评估。航空电子总局的工程师们一直在开发实时接口，以支持联合CNI/EC演示和实验，使用综合试验台(ITB)、综合电磁系统模拟器(IESS)、通信系统评估实验室(CSEL)和综合防御航空电子实验室(IDAL)。本文定义了航空电子风洞的概念，考察了它的好处，并描述了这一发展的当前能力和未来潜力。
