EDO's Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and
Electronic Countermeasure (ECM)
End-to-End Test System

End-to-End Tester General Description

The EDO's End-to-End (ETE) Test System performs automated performance evaluation of Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) and Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) systems. This ETE test system has a AN/PLM-4 Radar Signal Simulator (RSS) incorporated into its design.

An operator can be located at the SUT control and displays. This enables the operator to visually determine the operability of the ECM or RWR system by observing the SUT displays. The ETE Test System operator is able to evaluate ECM system functions such as receiver sensitivity, parameter encoding, power output and jam response. In addition, the ETE Test System can be used as a diagnostic tool to fault detect/fault isolate malfunctions within the ECM or RWR system-under-test (SUT).

The ETE Test System displays Jam response information that includes center frequency, peak power, transponder spot-width, jam window, and time-gated pulloffs. Tests can be performed using free-space radiation via antennas or signals can be direct-coupled into the SUT using antenna couplers.  The ETE Test System is designed to use Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) antenna couplers.

The ETE Test System is controlled via a rugged laptop PC running test software. The test software is operator friendly and is based on the Microsoft Windows® GUI. The ETE test system can operate in a fully automatic mode using a SUT specific test program or the operator can perform manual tests for diagnostic purposes. A wizard driven software application is supplied with the ETE Test System so EW and Depot level engineers can develop custom test programs for the SUT.
