Northrop Grumman COMPACT CEESIM-VPX

Cost is comparable to other commercial small simulators, but with all the power and capabilities of our full-sized CEESIM.

Quick turn delivery is available.

CCVPX is a DDS source capable of generating complex intrapulse modulations that can vary on a pulse-to-pulse basis, with proven accuracy to validate the parameter extremes in threat intelligence databases.

CCVPX can also generate high emitter density (up to one MPPS/channel).

CEESIM is the established threat source used to validate all state-of-the-art EW platforms.

CEESIM emitter modes have gone through multiple TRVALs on U.S. programs to validate they are true representations of the threat radar waveform.

CCVPX has demonstrated support of all test environments, including: Sub-assembly Test Stations, SILs, Anechoic Chambers, and Open-Air Test Ranges. 

The Local Oscillator (LO) and Up-converter Direction Finding (UCDF) RF slice pair provides 0.5 to 18 GHz signal generation, and the core building blocks of the Compact CEESIM-VPX.

Frequency extension RF slices are available to expand this base frequency coverage.

The Ultra-Low Band (ULB) RF slice extends frequency range down to include 20 to 500 MHz and the Millimeter Wave (MMW) slice extends frequency range to include 18 to 40 GHz.

The CCVPX comes with software that allows the user to define even the most complex threat radar waveforms by specifying a sequence of segments that describe the radar’s behavior in frequency, PRI, pulse, and scan.

Segments of each type can trigger the other segment types to advance in their sequences to produce an accurate progression of the waveform over time.

The software includes the ability to graph twelve critical parameters of the simulated radar’s waveform to allow the operator to verify correct programming.

 The CCVPX software can define platforms for the simulated threat radars and the SUT.

The motion of all platforms is modeled with full six degrees of freedom to allow dynamic modeling of terrain following and terrain blockage, as well as the calculation of angle of arrival effects for all signals at the SUT.

CEESIM offers 3D scenario visualization and editing capability, which displays the extent of threat domes and emitter activation state.

The GUI display includes range and bearing from emitter to SUT.
