Northrop Grumman’s Buffalo-based Amherst Systems business unit site director Joe Downie said the contract marks the latest in a long history of CEESIM systems being used at WR-ALC.
"This enhanced system ensures that the Air Logistics Center will continue to have a versatile test asset to support a variety of electronic warfare systems," Downie added.
Equipped with an updated user interface and advanced digital hardware, CEESIM is an advanced radio frequency (RF) simulator designed to generate complex dynamic electromagnetic environments required for simulation of true-to-war conditions, enabling cost-effective testing and validation of sophisticated electronic warfare (EW) equipment.

By GlobalDataCapable of seamlessly integrating into the WR-ALC’s existing Simulation Network lab control system, the off-the-shelf solution also offers angle-of-arrival radio frequency simulation techniques, including phase, amplitude and time difference of arrival.
In addition, the system is capable of supporting software maintenance and reprogramming of multiple electronic combat systems, such as those present on-board C-130 Hercules and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft.
