00:01In a radio proximity fuse, performance must be validated before deployment.
00:05The challenge is to reproduce realistic target echoes and clutter conditions without depending on costly and time-consuming field trials.
00:13During development and qualification, engineers must verify how the fuse responds to target range, relative motion, and changing terrain conditions.
00:21Accurate laboratory simulation is essential for repeatable testing and faster validation.
00:26Digilogic Systems has developed an echo simulator for proximity fuse testing based on DRFM architecture.
00:31The system captures the incoming RF signal from the fuse, processes it in real-time, and retransmits a precisely controlled
00:37target echo.
00:39Target parameters such as range, velocity, and radar cross-section are generated inside the DRFM-based architecture.
00:45The simulator can also reproduce clutter and terrain effects, including mud, water, sand, grass, and concrete surfaces.
00:52This allows the fuse to be tested against conditions that closely represent operational environments.
00:57Key technical capabilities
00:59The system supports 5 to 18 GHz operating range, FMCW input signals, instantaneous bandwidth up to 1 GHz, real-time
01:06FPGA-based simulation, portable or laboratory test configurations.
01:10These capabilities provide flexibility across multiple proximity fuse development and evaluation programs.
01:16Operational advantages for defense test engineers
01:19The platform offers repeatable RF scenarios, reduced dependence on live trials, faster debugging, and consistent performance evaluation across development, qualification,
01:27and production stages.
01:29Because the architecture is modular and configurable, it can be adapted to specific fuse frequencies and test requirements.
01:35With expertise in DRFM technology, FPGA processing, RF simulation, and PXI-based test systems,
01:41DigiLogic delivers high-fidelity echo simulation solutions for proximity fuse testing.
