Distributed real-time Radar Simulation Test bed for qualification of mission critical systems

Testing of radar based systems is an arduous exercise and it is essential to develop a real-time radar simulator for testing such systems. However, as radar simulation test bed demands more computational resources to meet the real-time deadlines, it turns out to be more complicated than the system being tested. Distributed computing provides an elegant solution for its need of high computational resources. However, it calls for data, event and time synchronization among the processors. In this paper, we present a successful realization of distributed real-time Radar Simulation Test bed for testing mission critical systems.
