The Airborne Seeker Test Bed is a recently operational instrumentation system containing a closed-loop tracking, semi-active seeker with the capability to record high-fidelity signals pertaining to radar seeder phenomenology, target scattering characteristics, electronic countermeasures, and acquisition and tracking performance. The unique capabilities of the test bed will be used to collect data and develop computer models for evaluating and predicting missile performance. Test bed data will be used to evaluate the susceptibility of U.S. aircraft to missile attack, and to explore new directions for future systems. The test bed is also designed to support the development of advanced seekers and new electronic counter-countermeasure techniques, and to demonstrate their capabilities in flight. Keywords: Closed-looped tracking, Semi-active seeker, Counter-countermeasure. (RWJ)
