Position-Time-Sensor Simulator
The Position-Time-Sensor Simulator
(PTS2) is a physics-based engagement
model that supports realistic analysis of
multispectral sensor surveillance, detection,
tracking, and target classification, and
identification capabilities. Developed by
System Planning Corporation (SPC), it is
used for mission analysis and development
of signature management tactics.
PTS2 emulates sensor hardware and signal
processing systems. It incorporates detailed
atmospheric models for electromagnetic ray
tracing and multiband clutter scatter models.
System performance is evaluated against orientation-dependent target signatures for
time-dependent engagements.
Results provided are user-controlled, animated
simulations with full support for generating tables and
charts. The PTS2 animation mode is particularly
useful for evaluating scenario-dependent
performance, and as an aid to experimenting with
alternative operational concepts. PTS2
object-oriented design enables data entering and
editing capability.
The Radar Analysis Model (RAM) subsystem links a
series of physics-based models for radio-frequency
propagation and sea-clutter backscatter with
characterizations of target signatures and radar and
processor systems for simulation of realistic,
time-dependent engagements. RAM has been
validated against results of electronic warfare exercises.

Graphically represented scenarios
provide sophisticated mapping and
visualization tools to allow the user to
pan, zoom and time-step through the
engagement space.
