Book excerpt: The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) is tasked with providing a coordinated process for making joint investments in defense T & E to offset the challenges presented by declining investments in test assets and increasing test requirements. Under CTEIP sponsorship, the Navy and Air Force are jointly developing three Joint Installed System Test Facility (JISTF) enhancements that are based on dynamic virtual reality simulation technology. The three enhancements are the Infrared Sensor Stimulator (IRSS), Generic Radar Target Generator (GRTG), and Joint Communications Simulator (JCS). These enhancement will provide each ISTF with the capability to simultaneously test multiple avionics and sensor subsystems installed on an aerospace System Under Test (SUT) (e.g., manned and unmanned aircraft) in a ground test environment. The ISTF enhanced test capabilities will be used to evaluate multisensor data fusion/correlation and subsystems interoperability for IR sensors, RADAR, GPS, and Communications and Data Link subsystems. This paper will outline the basic process of the integration of IRENE into IRSS and several of the challenges, issues, and solutions that accompanied this task. This paper's primary focus will be on the process involved with the correct integration/implementation of the validated IRENE thermal model, and the incorporation of an acceptable method for rendering the ocean background in real-time.
