Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for testing software with real-time source data from a projectile according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a real-time data source, a signal processor, a recordable medium, and a testing platform. The signal processor receives real-time data from a real-time data source during a test and saves it to a storage medium before providing the real-time data to the testing platform for permanent storage. During a subsequent test, the testing platform may upload the saved real-time data to the signal processor foregoing the need to generate new real-time data from the real-time data source.

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for selecting a target from radar data according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a real-time data source and a countermeasure system. The real-time data source provides tracking information for at least one potential target from which a lead track associated with one target meeting a predetermined threshold requirement may be selected for engagement by the countermeasure system.
