Abstract:
1. A system for evaluating aircraft/watercraft/battle-vehicle survivability equipment comprising the following: (1) a Static Pyrotechnic Unit (SPTU) and a support stand on which said Static pyrotechnic Unit is positioned, said support stand comprising a base and insulating board connected by a telescopic pole, said insulating board has wires for igniting the SPTU, and said SPTU is coated with a flammable material/compound for electrical ignition; (2) a system of Short Range Simulating Rocket (SRSR) and a rocket launching apparatus, said Short Range Simulating Rocket comprising a front section which comprises a pyrotechnic flare material, a back section which comprises a propellant, a rocket engine, and stabilizing fins, and in between the front section and the back section, there is a safety mechanism that enables/disables the activation of the SRSR, said launching apparatus comprising a tripod that can change azimuth and elevation and pedestal on top of which a launch tube is mounted; and (3) a control system that sets the timing of and activates said Static Pyrotechnic Unit in (1) and said system SRSR in (2), wherein, when the Static pyrotechnic Unit is ignited, the resulting flash is characterized by having an IR wavelength and multi spectral emission, intensity and time duration that simulates the initial flash created by a fired shoulder missile, wherein, when the Short Range Simulating Rocket is fired, the resulting radiation is characterized by having an IR wavelength and multi spectral emission, intensity and time duration that simulates the radiation trail emitted from a fired shoulder missile; wherein, the flash created by the Static pyrotechnic Unit, and the trail emission of the Short Range Simulating Rocket are detected by the target (aircraft/watercraft/battle-vehicle) survivability detection equipment and their trajectory and emission characteristics are determined, enabling the target to take protective measures.
