Spirent Federal Systems, a global provider of automated test and assurance solutions for networks, cybersecurity, and positioning, has announced several new enhancements to its GSS9000 Series constellation simulator.
The enhancements are of particular benefit to US military high-dynamic applications, such as Space missions and hypersonic or spinning vehicles, such as missiles.
Roger Hart, Director of Engineering for Spirent Federal said, “The 2 kHz simulation iteration rate provides significant benefits to Spirent Federal’s U.S. government customers.”
The enhanced product supports Blue Force Electronic Attack (BFEA) jamming waveforms, which will allow users to create scenarios to test military GPS user equipment (MGUE) TRD (technical requirements document) threshold and objective requirements.
Jennifer Smith, Spirent Federal’s Director of Business Development said, “Our jamming and spoofing simulation enhancements underscore Spirent’s commitment to be first to provide new capabilities to our customers, so as military PNT equipment evolves, our customers’ testing can stay ahead of that evolution. These interference GTx capabilities add to our already-robust MNSA M-code test environments to greatly benefit MGUE developers and integrators.”
An extended scenario duration of 65 days has also been added to the enhancement list.
In a simulation environment, where control and repeatability are key for a realistic representation of the mission, reducing the number of user inputs is essential. The new update will use the same initial conditions for the simulation throughout the duration of testing to deliver uninterrupted high-performance simulation.
