CDSI staff have a 25-year history of
Technical Support to the US Army's
Firefinder program. Firefinder is a
weapon-locating radar system. CDSI also
has also been responsible for the design
and development of several generations
of Radar Environment Simulators (RES). CDSI is currently providing
simulation support for the US Army's Firefinder Radar
Processor Upgrade program.
We are also working to demonstrate a
software-based development cycle for
recognizing, modeling, analyzing and
resolving issues encountered in the
field. In an attempt to reduce the time
to fielded solution as well as minimize
the development cycle required for
testing the code modifications, we have
developed a virtual environment.
This virtual environment includes a
Firefinder Radar emulation that
interacts with environments observed in various fielded
conditions. Because of the accuracy of
the model, the responses from the
emulation strongly resemble the
responses encountered in the field. We
have been able to tailor effective
software solutions to address Radar
performance enhancement using this
approach.
