Model 527™
Model 527
The Model 527™ Radar Signal Simulator is designed to stimulate radar warning receiver (RWR) systems on operational aircraft through free-space radiation testing. It assures aircrew confidence through flight line verification of the operational status of an aircraft and its installed RWR systems.
- Stimulates RWRs on operational aircraft through free-space radiation testing
- Handheld and portable with an extensive battery life
- Compatible with JSECST™and A2PATS®, enhancing vertical test capability and minimizing maintenance downtime
- Compatible with a variety of platforms
- Fully programmable, advanced modulations including circular, sector, spiral, conical and others
- Ruggedized and laboratory versions available
- Sufficient power to cover multiple receivers simultaneously
Additional Features:
- Gross Weight
- Less than 27 lbs with 2 batteries (12.2 kg)
configurations
Field
Model 527 can perform end-of-runway and walk-around testing at extended distances (over 200 ft) from the aircraft. Antennas and transmission paths mounted high on the aircraft can be verified without direct coupling. Multiple receivers can be tested simultaneously. Our advanced threat modeling software allows threat emitters to be developed offline and stored on removable PCMCIA media, enabling the system itself to be unclassified when powered down with disk removed. The Model 527 supports up to eight simultaneous, multiplexed emitters, allowing the development of complex test cases and the verification of threat priority in the RWR system. Once emitters or groups of emitters are developed, test personnel can progress through them easily.
