VREX Benefits

  • Test in Lab

– Exercise signal processing software in the lab

  • Improve Radar Performance

– High-fidelity target simulation – Stress testing with many targets

  • Lower Cost, Risk, and Schedule

– Decouples radar software and hardware development – Reduces testing at remote sites – Reduce time required to test a new release – Run on commercial off-the-shelf hardware

  • Design and Demonstrate Next Generation Sensors & C2

– Using model-based engineering – Distributed REX

VREX Status & Objectives

  • Air Force Phase II Contract Award: May 23rd 2013 18-month to

continue development and transition VREX to an operational radar

  • VREX Status: Working Phase II SBIR project to demonstrate:

– Operational VREX architecture, – Simulated front-end radar to drive VREX, – Configurable front-to-back-end interface – Real-time data capture for run-time analysis, – Real-time rule engine to enable configurable equipment simulation – External algorithm interface (for use in connecting to 3rd party signal processing or real-time simulations)

  • Looking for Radars: Air Force looking for operational or in-

development radars to leverage & transition the Phase II technology
