Centralized Simulation Controller Framework for Airborne Sensor Simulation

Mission System Integration Rig (MSyIR) setup facilitates the integration, testing, evaluation of Mission payloads of Airborne Surveillance system prior to actual flight test in a controlled environment. In MSyIR, the sensors part of Aircraft surveillance platform can be seamlessly integrated and tested either as actual or simulated. The test setup can use functionally simulated sensor model for all the sensors in the absence of actual sensor.This paper elaborates the framework for a centralized simulation controller that manages multiple airborne sensor simulators in a cohesive manner to perform mission simulation.
