The Systems Integration Test (SIT) was executed by the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Joint Test Force (JTF) and evaluated the utility of using ADS to support cost-effective testing of an integrated missile weapon/ launch aircraft system in an operationally realistic scenario. The SIT scenarios simulated a single shooter aircraft launching an air-to-air missile against a single target aircraft. Extensive testing was performed involving two different ADS architectures: (1) the shooter and target were represented by manned flight laboratories and the missile by an AIM-9M Sidewinder hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) laboratory and (2) the shooter and target were represented by live F-16 fighters and the missile by an AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) HWIL laboratory. Testing was completed in October 1997, and evaluation of the results supports the conclusion that each ADS configuration has utility for T&E of the corresponding air-to-air missile involved. The applicability of ADS for the T&E of precision guided munitions (PGM) in general was assessed by extending the results and lessons learned from the SIT testing. The PGM classes considered were air-to-air missiles (AAMs), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), air-to-ground munitions (AGM), surface-to-surface munitions, and subsurface munitions. In the ADS applications considered, the PGM could be represented by either a digital simulation model (DSM) or by an HWIL and the shooter and target could be represented by either live platforms, HWIL laboratories, or DSMs. The choice of shooter, target, and PGM representation depends on the test objectives, the details of the scenario, and the performance area and type of PGM being evaluated. This paper describes the various PGM T&E applications for which the JADS JTF believes ADS has utility.
