Distributed Physics Based Electronic Warfare Object Models Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Topic No.: N121-040 Topic Title: Distributed Physics Based Electronic Warfare Object Models Proposal No.: N121-040-0732 Firm: deciBel Research, Inc. 325 Bob Heath Drive Huntsville, Alabama 35806 Contact: van der Phone: (256) 489-6186 Web Site: www.dbresearch.net Abstract: Evolving electronic warfare (EW) and its impact throughout the battlefield necessitates simulations. Modern EW simulations do not accurately replicate EW suites and their impacts on radars in real-time, distributed environments. This SBIR intends to develop a real-time simulation replicating enemy tactical radars, and the US EW suites used on the EA-6B and EA-18G aircraft. The simulation must be compatible with SDREN, TENA and JIMM, and interact with other entities, including flight simulators, IAPS and Link 16. deciBel Research, Inc. (deciBel) proposes to develop Digital Real-Time Threat Radar Electronic Defense (DRT-TRED, "dirty tread") to fulfill this need by marrying our experience and products from a real-time radar stimulator, an anti-radiation seeker simulation, and an advance electronic attack concept design. DRT-TRED will model threat radars, environmental effects, radar signatures, EW receivers and jammers to support many-on-many simulations. The deciBel team's radar and EW simulation experience, including parallel and vectorized processing, escalating bulk filters and mixed fidelity models; and the associated legacy products provide the skill set and tools necessary for a successful implementation of the real-time operation of these detailed, physics based models. deciBel also has the experience and corporate relationships to beat the non-trivial challenges of a distributed network environment. Benefits: The execution of deciBel's development plan for DRT-TRED will yield several benefits and opportunities. At the end of Phase II, DRT-TRED will be operational, integrated in a distributed environment, and performing quality test runs. Benefits of DRT-TRED will include an object-oriented design fostering maintainability and upgradability, maximizing fidelity of a complex real-time simulation, and capability to interact with entities operates across a distributed network. deciBel will use DRT-TRED to initiate a new product line as well as pursuing transition partners. deciBel will productize DRT-TRED for the US DOD in a manner similar to dBTools, a successful high fidelity radar simulator. deciBel will also pursue several avenues in securing a transition partner in Phase I, starting with two recent deciBel customers with very similar requirements. This is an excellent opportunity for deciBel to advance the state of the art of EW battlefield simulations for the US DOD, and potentially leveraging the networking experience to benefit MDA framework development.
