Claim One:
1. Survivability equipment for an aircraft which includes: an aircraft survivability equipment simulator apparatus embedded in the survivability equipment for providing in flight simulation of threats, said simulator apparatus comprising: a threat database which includes a plurality of different threats as well as associated parameters for each of the threats; a threat proximity module which receives position and flight plan information as well as the associated parameters from the threat database in order to perform a plurality of threat proximity calculations and generate a threat proximity signal; a threat modeling module which includes threat models for a plurality of aircraft sensors, the threat modeling module receives the threat proximity signal and generates threat models for any combination of the aircraft sensors selected as a function of the associated parameters, and for each of the threat models generated, a track file is created; an IASE simulation module which receives the track files from the threat modeling module and simulates the IASE; and means to provide simulation information to a pilot of the aircraft.
