missim - innovative "all-in-one" test system for self-protection systems

Portable, cross-spectrum simulation of EW threat scenarios enables a safe mission. Easily and quickly verify the functionality of your self-protection system by stimulating the sensors with our compact multispectral threat simulator. missim provides you with reliable "go/no-go" results before every flight.

The latest generation missim Mk3 successfully enables full electronic warfare system validation: Stimulation of Missile Warning Receivers (MWR Ultra Violet & Infrared Dual Color), Radar Warning Receivers (RWR C-, D-, E-, F-, G-, H-, I-, J-Band & K-Band) and Laser Warning Receivers (LWR) with one single portable device.

YOUR ADVANTAGES

UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY

Platform independent system test for most Self-protection systems

ALL-IN-ONE

Cross-spectrum simulation of EW threat scenarios (combining radar, missile and laser threats) with a single portable device

SIMPLE AND RELIABLE

Intuitive operation with reliable test results (auto-distance-compensation, auto-dimming display, dedicated SW for advanced & user friendly programming experience, etc.)

SIMULATION OF REAL THREAT SCENARIOS – ALL-IN-ONE

During military operations or humanitarian missions in conflict areas, units are facing complex threat scenarios. In the event of an emergency, a functioning self-protection system can be vital for crew and equipment. Regardless of whether it‘s a helicopter, plane, ship or vehicle – thanks to a full spectrum-spanning simulation of real threats, self-protection sensors are stimulated just like in the event of an emergency. This provides you with reliable validation of your self-protection system functionality.

MAXIMUM MISSION SAFETY AT LOW OPERATING COSTS

The reliable missim system stimulation provides the aircrew with the necessary confidence in their self-protection system so that they can fully focus on their mission. Thanks to a full test of the self-protection systems with a single portable device, missim guarantees the fastest possible platform deployment for your emergency services. Our missim Mk3 is up and running in less than a minute and only takes a few seconds to test each sensor. The reduction of required equipment and time allows shifting aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) tests from I- to O-level which significantly reduces risk of undetected malfunctions by reducing the maintenance interval without notably increasing logistics effort or down time.

PRODUCT FEATURES

FAQ: THREAT SIMULATOR MISSIM MK3

How does missim work?

missim simulates threat signals while the self-protection system should react like in the case of a real threat scenario. The intelligent electronics of missim automatically adjust their signal strength to the distance to the sensor. The signals are perceived by the self-protection system as real approaching threats and trigger an alarm in the cockpit. missim only needs a few seconds to check the functionality of all components of the self-protection system. The simulator is ready for operation in less than a minute and is stowed away back into the case just as quickly after use.

Which generations of weapons systems can be simulated?

missim can model weapons systems spanning all generations – from retrospective (legacy) systems to both current and future threats, as well as expected new technologies and scenarios.

Retrospective / Legacy: Simulations of all previously deployed threats.
Current technology: Realistic modelling of current threat scenarios, including modern guided missiles, radar-controlled systems, IR/UV profiles and laser threats.
Future technologies: Ability to simulate future threats – including as a combination of different signals and responses, with a view to modelling hybrid/multispectral attack profiles. Regarding the simulation of new technologies, we are already collaborating with leading research institutes.

In terms of technology, the simulation is based on cross-spectrum signals (radar, laser, IR, UV etc.), pre-programmed scenarios and freely programmable sequences. Legacy, current and combined threat scenarios can already be linked together in order to map realistic and complex deployment situations (e.g. simultaneous radar, laser and IR attacks).

Which threats and scenarios can be simulated?

The operator can chose from pre-programmed threat scenarios. Including radar signals, laser range finders, dazzlers, target designators, beam riders, UV & IR missiles, active radar guided missiles, hostile fire with tracer ammunition and many more. Missim thus simulates Radar, Laser, IR Dual Color and UV-based threats across the spectrum to stimulate MWR, RWR or LWR. The preprogrammed scenarios can be expanded with individually programmable sequences.

Which self-protection systems can be tested?

missim is platform-independent and compatible with almost any self-protection systems. It does not require any modification to the system.

How is missim stored and transported?

The compact and portable simulator can easily be transported in a protector case. The scope of supply is individually adapted to the customer requirements. RUAG customizes the case for the accessories required by the customer. When flying with the smallest case version, the missim Mk3 falls under the category „hand luggage“ and can be taken on board. The case is qualified to harsh environment and keeps the missim clean and safe during transport or while its stored.

Is missim weather resistant?

missim is designed according to Mil standard (MIL-STD-810G) and can be used in any weather condition on ground.

What does missim cost?
