Abstract

The avionics laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH is developing the capability to perform research and development (R&D) test and evaluation (T&E) of advanced avionics technologies. The integrated electromagnetic system simulator (IESS), integrated test bed (ITB), and the integrated defensive avionics laboratory (IDAL) are key avionics laboratory facilities that enable development of these capabilities. IESS supports R&D/T&E of integrated communication, navigation, identification (CNI) systems. ITB supports R&D/T&E of advanced avionics architectures. IDAL supports R&D/T&E of advance electronic warfare (EW) electronic countermeasures (ECM) technologies. The integration of these facilities to provide a realistic, interactive communications simulation that produces real, dynamic, radio frequency signals to evaluate approaching integrated avionics technologies including integrated communication navigation, identification avionics (ICNIA), PAVE PILLAR, PAVE PACE, and integrated electronic warfare system (INEWS) is described
