Infrared Seeker Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation and Target Simulator

Missile simulation technology offers accurate, controllable and repeated test condition for missiles guided by infrared seeker. As a kind of simulation technology, hardware-in-the-loop simulation can not only improve the design quality of whole system, but also test the functions of control and guidance system directly. Infrared target simulator provides a convenient, feasible and cheap test method. Different infrared characters obtained from different targets under different weather conditions and different backgrounds make it convenient to test the performance of infrared seeker completely. At the same time, much outlay for the experiment is saved. Besides, the onstitution of infrared seeker hardware-in-the-loop simulation system is described. A kind of infrared target simulator with one target and two interferences has been developed.
