Submit Resume ID: 498911 Type: Researchers Location: Atlanta, GA Categories: Software Development/Design

Project/Unit Description

The Test Engineering Division (TEN) of the Electronic Systems Laboratory (ELSYS) develops Hardware in the Loop (HITL) test sets, test tools, analysis tools and test methods for US Air Force, Army, and Navy sponsors. These systems provide high fidelity simulation and stimulation of real-time Electro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/ IR), Radio Frequency (RF) and Avionics environments for testing Electronic Warfare (EW) and avionics systems. These systems protect aircraft from adversarial ground and airborne threats. This research is critical for supporting the development, trouble-shooting, analysis and testing of EW and Integrated EW (IEW) systems.
