PSR Target Generator

Radar Target Generation (RTG)

The Radar Target Generator (RTG) is designed to generate primary radar returns. It can be used in two different ways: connected to a system under test (in-factory or on-site) for direct target injection or in the field to generate a remote test target.

The RTG will detect and preserve the radar pulse, apply a fixed and highly precise delay and retransmit the pulse with the appropriate power, pulse-width, frequency and Doppler shift. This is a high fidelity simulation of real targets and allows for precise test scenarios.

RTg Benefits

system intelligence

With RTG, you can test primary radar to its limits and gain unrivalled system intelligence. That allows to improve QoS.

Traffic-independent

RTG counters the flaws of legacy test methods that use opportunity traffic, test flights or comparisons to SSR and ADS-B. Testing with RTG is not bounded to the prevailing air traffic and environmental conditions.

cost efficient testing

RTG testing provides realistic measurement data of the same RF nature as real test flights do, but without their cost, operational impact and limitations. With RTG, there is no need for airborne test targets, making a strong safety case, particularly close to airports.

User-Friendly & easy

Testing becomes budget friendly and easy.

Capabilities

  • Preprogrammed targets and scenarios can be used to evaluate Probability of Detection (Pd), Probability of False Alarms (Pfa), Range & Azimuth Accuracy, Range & Azimuth Resolution, Plot Latency and Plot Load Capacity.
  • Targets fully programmable in radar cross section (e.g. simulate drones or stealth aircraft), speed (even hypersonic), heading, etc.
  • Target scenarios can also simulate windfarm interference, Electronic Warfare (EW) jamming, 4G/5G interference, Ground/Sea clutter, weather or any other real-life encounter.
  • RTG can be synchronized with RES® (SSR Environment Simulator) to produce complex combined PSR/SSR target scenarios for full system evaluation, including Mode-S or Mode-5.
  • Towertrack accessories available for testing of counter battery and missile defense radars by simulating ballistic trajectory targets with extreme precision.
