Northrop Grumman’s Combat Electronic Environment Simulator has been chosen to provide radio frequency capabilities for fifth-generation fighters.
The Combat Electronic Environment Simulator (CEESIM) has the capacity to provide realistic radio frequency (RF) threats to assist the survivability and weapons response for fifth-generation fighters. Northrop has consistently worked with Lockheed Martin to assist in the development of US and global military fleets.
“Spectrum superiority begins in the lab with CEESIM. Through Northrop Grumman’s high-fidelity modelling of radio frequency threats, we are driving the rapid improvement of survivability for fifth-generation platforms,” said James Conroy, vice president, targeting and survivability, at Northrop Grumman.
The CEESIM system seeks to accurately replicate combat through simulation of complicated threat environments when testing RF technology, warfare receivers and processing systems.
These features of the CEESIM enable it to be a dynamic and interactive testing system to support the efforts and work of global militaries. Its architecture is adaptable in both standard and compact configurations in order to suit the specific needs of particular customers.
Northrop said its RF technology keeps the CEESIM at the front of electronic warfare systems, ensuring that customers and users are “ready for the toughest problems facing the warfighter”.
The company also said in a statement that “CEESIM enables advanced receiver testing with a product roadmap that paces emerging threats”.
