The Electronic Warfare Division of the avionics laboratory at the Wright Research and Development Center (WRDC) has two in-house facilities which are used in the evaluation of conceptual infrared (IR) and electrooptical (EO) countermeasure techniques. The first facility, called the dynamic infrared missile evaluator (DIME), is a 6-degree of freedom hardware-in-the-loop IR missile simulator. This system is used to evaluate flare and jammer techniques on actual missile guidance and control units under real-time dynamic fly-out conditions. The second facility, called the electrooptical signature analysis system (EOSAS), is an image processing system with software developed to create images of aircraft and characterize their resulting visual and/or infrared signature. This system is used to design and evaluate observable reduction techniques. Both systems provide WRDC with a unique in-house capability for research and development of IR/EO countermeasure techniques.
