Designation

“Imitator” is a software suite enabling generation of inputs (blips) from a three-dimensional radar (or a net of different radar types).

Features

— high degree of adequacy of the generated input impacts;
— a wide range of simulated objects and their three-dimensional trajectories;
— simulation of three-dimensional trajectories of multiple targets in different combat formations (including with separation);
— generation of inputs from stationary and moving radars (including airborne radars) (or from a network of different radars);
— simulation of information output from secondary radar systems.

Capabilities

“Imitator” enables:

— generating inputs from a 3D radar (or a net of different radar types – 2D, 3D, height-finders) for the purposes of developing, debugging and testing trajectory processing systems based on the generated data during operation in a network or in research mode;

— conducting stress tests of radar information trajectory processing systems.

“Imitator” takes into account:

— characteristics of simulated surveillance radar (operation modes, output rate, antenna pattern shape, scanning method, resolution, measurement accuracy, detection characteristics, etc.);

— parameters of radar observation objects (geometric dimensions, RCS, parameters of motion, etc.);

— geographic location of the radar (including moving mobile versions) and influence of the Earth’s geoid;

— aerial/jamming environment (single trajectories and complex scenarios, operation of active jammers).
