recalled per target. The latest module<br />

simulates targets as a collection of po<strong>in</strong>t<br />

scatterers. It is essentially multiple DRFMs <strong>in</strong><br />

one. This DRFM illustrates <strong>the</strong> depth of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>CSIR</strong>’s expertise <strong>in</strong> high-speed mixed signal<br />

hardware, and fi rmware and digital signal<br />

process<strong>in</strong>g. The <strong>in</strong>tegration of <strong>the</strong> DRFM<br />

with two software simulators – SEWES<br />

and SigmaHat – provides a high-fi delity<br />

HWIL environment for radar and EW<br />

research and development, such as target<br />

classifi cation and deception jamm<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Outputs<br />

The outputs were:<br />

• A successful demonstration of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>tegrated hardware and software,<br />

which was mobile and could be<br />

shown locally and <strong>in</strong>ternationally.<br />

• A video to capture <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegrative<br />

effort, as well as to showcase <strong>the</strong> three<br />

simulators <strong>in</strong> separation and how <strong>the</strong>y<br />

can be comb<strong>in</strong>ed to form a superior<br />

simulator.<br />

• Software and fi rmware generated to<br />

enable <strong>in</strong>tegration, both currently and<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> future.<br />

Apart from <strong>the</strong> knowledge generated, <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>CSIR</strong> team realised that <strong>in</strong>tegrat<strong>in</strong>g complex<br />

systems is possible with m<strong>in</strong>imal resources;<br />

<strong>the</strong> result of such an <strong>in</strong>tegration can be a<br />

marketable offer<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
