Features

The IRTS IRTS Infrared Threat Simulator is a medium to long-range electro-optical missile threat simulator for testing missile approach warning systems. It simulates any IR radiation profile, based on parameters such as the missile signature, atmospheric condition, missile speed, distances of up to 5 km and more. An integrated GPS synchronizes the IRTS to any other equipment used in the drill or experiment. IRTS is available as a broadband or spectral source for testing dual-color MWS.

The GPS can also synchronize between several IRTS’s to create a true "Missile-Field" simulation. Training crews can use the IRTS to learn how to operate missile warning systems and IR jammers. It also has an option for a video tracker, and a motorized pedestal. With the optional radiometer, the IRTS gives a complete analysis of missile simulation on the one hand and testing the IR jammers on the other.
