Electronic countermeasures (ECMs) are instrumental in altering the flight path of an incoming active threat missile. To determine the effectiveness of the ECM, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) threat missile simulators are tested in several types of experimental configurations (e.g., closed-loop in an anechoic chamber, open-loop captive-carry held tests on board an aircraft). A new class of modeling and simulation algorithms is presented that allows an accurate miss distance to be calculated from a high-bandwidth ECM captive-carry test result. The techniques combine the results from each test configuration and represent an improvement in evaluating an ECM effectiveness over a singly independent analysis. Anechoic chamber and captive-carry test results from an HIL antiship missile (ASM) simulator are used to demonstrate the algorithms and detail the feasibility of the approach.
