The Integrated Communication, Navigation, and Identification Avionics (ICNIA) program is an Air Force effort created to integrate CNI functions into a single synergistic system. While this concept provides considerable advantages, the concept presents new challenges to the test and evaluation efforts associated with verifying the performance of an integrated CNI system. Test and evaluation requires a thorough exercising of the system in a dynamic environment similar to one experienced during normal operation. In the past, this type of testing has been performed during flight test. To augment flight test verification of the ICNIA Advanced Development Model (ADM), TRW is developing a ground-based test and evaluation facility for the Air Force to provide this dynamic environment. The Integrated Electromagnetic System Simulator (IESS) is being designed to provide a correlated environment for testing and evaluating integrated CNI avionics systems. The IESS approach will provide an interface to a unit under test via an artificial surround that simulates the real-world operational environment.
