APPENDIX D1

GUIDED WEAPONS EVALUATION FACILITY (GWEF)

1.0 PURPOSE.

2.0

The GWEF evaluates guided weapons performance by means of Hardware-In- The-Loop (HITL) simulation.

2.1. The GWEF, building 374, located on Eglin main base, is used to test, checkout, and troubleshoot guided weapon seekers through the use of HITL simulation.

GENERAL.

2.2. The GWEF is a Government-owned, Government-operated facility. The 94,000-square foot building houses 11 separate test areas to accommodate the full range of smart weapons technologies. A twelfth simulation area, called the Open-Air HITL simulation, is located on top of a 300-foot tower at TS A-13/B on Santa Rosa Island. The Operational Ground Test Simulation system is transported to the Operational Ground Test site to support functional testing of all-up guided munitions. The GWEF also includes test support areas. The GWEF includes:

1. Laser Test Area.

2. CO2 Test Area.

3. IR Test Area.

4. CCM Test Area.

5. Visible Test Area.

6. IR/laser computer room.

7. Dynamic Test Area.

8. Static Test Area.

9. RF Test Area.

10. ERS/MMW Test Area.

11. GPS Test Area.

12. A transportable Open-Air HITL System. (reference D4)

13. A transportable Operational Ground Test Simulation System. (reference F6)

14. Equipment modification lab.

15. RF and MMW design and field support.

2.3. In general, all simulation areas are designed to evaluate guided weapons performance by simulating target engagements. The unit under test (UUT) is put in a realistic virtual target environment and allowed to acquire, lock-on to, and engage the target. The UUT’s performance is assessed by having it engage the target under specified scenarios and scoring the end-game.

The technology used by each type of smart weapon requires unique equipment and instrumentation to generate the virtual target environment. The GWEF’s simulation areas are specially designed to accommodate each of the guidance technologies used.

2.4. In general, the UUT is mounted on a flight motion simulator to view the virtual target environment. Target simulation systems provide high fidelity target and background scenes to the UUT in real-time. The UUT is initialized and allowed to respond to the virtual target environment. The UUT response is recorded and displayed in real-time. Stored data is reduced and formatted for subsequent analysis.

2.5. The GWEF is self-contained; however, there is a fiber optic link with the PRIMES facility.
