Leonardo Electronics (formerly Tactical Technologies Inc.) produces Tactical Engagement Simulation Software™ (TESS™) for the international Electronic Warfare (EW) market. TTI's COTS simulation products are open, physics-based simulations used in more than thirty EW Operational Support Centers, Air and Maritime Warfare Centers, Intelligence Agencies, Operational Research, and EW Engineering Agencies around the world. TESS enables the user to analyze, evaluate, understand and optimize countermeasure effectiveness against radar and infrared guided weapons. Developing effective countermeasures requires an intimate understanding of the way that these weapon systems operate and interact with a target and the ECM in dynamic tactical engagements. This includes the effect that specific engagement geometries, evasive manoeuvres, environmental conditions and countermeasure deployment strategies—along with a range of other variables—come into play and lead to a particular end-game result.Using MATLAB® and Simulink® from The MathWorks Inc., Tactical Technologies Inc. has developed a family of products that simulate closed loop weapon and target engagements. These integrated engagement simulations include a threat system (with one or two missiles), the environment between the threat and target, and the target complete with countermeasure and evasive manoeuvring capabilities. At end-game TESS presents the user with computed miss-distance and probability of kill results to quantify the outcome of the engagement.Through its regular and hands-on training courses TTI also supports its clients in the establishment of facilities and infrastructure for developing electronic countermeasures and tactics for use in their national EW integrated reprogramming facilities.
