DoD Management of Electronic Warfare Threat Simulators For Training

Electronic Warfare EW threat simulators include equipment used to represent enemy air defense weapon systems. Advanced threats are highly capable systems of the Commonwealth of Independent States, such as the self-propelled 2S6 antiaircraft artillery gun and various surface-to-air missile systems. For training scenarios, EW threat simulators let aircrews face a variety of realistic EW threats and evaluate their countermeasures performances. The goal of the Military Departments is to train aircrews to reduce combat losses and enhance mission success. The Military Departments have budgeted 1.5 billion to develop EW threat simulators for training during FYs 1989 through 1997.
