HIDESS
HIGH DENSITY SIMULATION SYSTEM

Cubic's standard High Density Simulation System (HIDESS) is the most technologically advanced simulation system available for the complete electronic warfare (EW) facility. The HIDESS product line accurately tests advanced radar warning receivers and other EW equipment by providing realistic threat signals and scenarios.

The simulators can emulate standard radar, pulse Doppler (including ICW) or continuous waveform signals. The actual characteristics of both the radar signal and operational environment are preserved to provide the highest level of fidelity and realism possible.

The system's unique design provides a clear replication of the signals with minimal RF noise output. Individual time clocks for each signal preserves the asynchronous nature of the threat environment - in real time - to ensure the highest level of realism possible.

The standard HIDESS produces up to 64 independent signals and has four RF channels - two covering the 0.5 to 18.0 GHz frequency range and two covering the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range. This frequency coverage may be lowered to as low as 50 MHz and raised to above the 40 GHz range.

The system can be operated as a single 64 signal simulator or as two 32 signal simulators. It provides a zero pulse drop out capability for one signal in each RF channel.

The complete equipment, including the RF sources, is housed within two 6.5 feet (38U rack space) high floor standing racks. It is controlled by a Pentium-based personal computer system controller running Escape2000 simulation control software.
