Real-time imaging radar simulation

Photon Research Associates Inc. (PRA) has developed RadarWorks^TM, a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product which produces real-time, physics-based simulation of an imaging radar operating against synthetic environments comprised of natural backgrounds, cultural features and mobile objects. One of RadarWorks´ unique features is that it operates on the same synthetic environment as Multigen-Paradigm, Inc.´s visual (Vega^TM) and infrared (SensorVision^TM) simulation products to produce correlated “out-the-window”, radar and infrared scenes. Applications are flight simulators for human-in-the-loop training, radar system performance requirements, human factors research, operator/pilot training and mission rehearsal/mission planning
