Electro Rent Announces Northrop Grumman Compact CEESIM-VPX Availability for Rental

Washington DC – Nov 03, 2022 - Electro Rent, the leader in rental test and measurement equipment solutions and services, today announced the availability of the Northrop Grumman Compact Combat Electromagnetic Environment Simulator (CEESIM)-VPX for short-term rental. The Compact CEESIM-VPX is a portable radio frequency environment generator, offering many of the capabilities of much larger systems.

The CEESIM-VPX offers full CEESIM capability in the space of a synthesizer – only 3U in a standard 19” rack mountable chassis which can also be used as a tabletop unit. The system comes complete with a suite of modeling tools, server DGS threat modeling, full emitter fidelity, and native use of CEESIM scenarios and emitter models. It supports the generation of the highly complex signals present in today’s electromagnetic environment, from dynamic communications signals to sophisticated electronic warfare threats. Additionally, open APIs allow for easy integration with customer tools and government models while drag and drop placement of platforms and emitters in the gaming area in conjunction with 3D visualization of threat domes help enhance ease of use and accelerate testing.

According to Mike Clark, Electro Rent Chief Executive Officer, “Our customers in the Aerospace and Defense markets are often required to provide agile responses to geopolitical challenges in an environment where fundamental test and measurement solutions may be impacted by ongoing supply chain issues. With the Northrop Grumman Compact CEESIM-VPX and other Electronic Warfare and RF equipment we have in our unmatched global inventory, we can quickly support customer requirements while helping them preserve capital with cost effective rental and certified pre-owned purchase options. We are excited to offer our customers unique rental access to the Compact CEESIM-VPX and look forward to further extending our partnership with Northrop Grumman in the future.”
