The increased use of sophisticated simulations as performance prediction tools during the development of guided missiles has placed greater emphasis on comprehensive validation of the models used. Validation of several simulations was accomplished by Raytheon Company while developing the Army's PATRIOT air defense system. The validation experience is presented for two large-scale guidance simulations; the Hybrid Guidance System Simulation and the Guidance Test and Simulation Facility. Examples of the data collected are presented in the course of discussing the approach to validating all mathematical as well as hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Conclusions are drawn as to the most effective methods and the value of the validation process to the overall system development.
