ARTS-V2 is a pre-Milestone B Program to develop and field a high fidelity threat emitter for live aircrew training for anti-access/area denial environments. ARTS-V2 will provide the advanced capabilities necessary to train aircrews in the employment of fifth generation aircraft against foreign fielded live double-digit surface-to-air missile threat systems. The required capabilities include the replication of system radio frequency signals and waveforms, advanced self-protection capabilities, mobility, physical characteristics and operational tactics, techniques, and procedures.

ARTS-V2 is a robust, ruggedized, mobile system. It will provide threat accurate radar tracking and reactivity to include acquiring, tracking and engaging multiple aircraft simultaneously with representative receiver/processor and electronic counter-countermeasure capabilities. The system radar signal will meet threat representative parametric data of the actual threat. Additionally, the system will provide threat representative full effective radiated power, replicate threat signals, antenna patterns, operational modes and threat tactics capabilities, and the capability to send real-time radar data to the Range Control Center (RCC) in conjunction with the range's Digital Integrated Air Defense System (DIADS)-controlled threat environment for processing and analysis. ARTS-V2 will provide multi-spectral threat representation.

Further information concerning the full scope of this effort can be found within the Statement of Objectives (SOO) posted with this announcement. All interested parties must be able to qualify for performance of the entire scope of the effort.
