RADAR WARNING
ARAT and joint service reprogramming centers established common obstacles in software and threat simulations across services in August 2023—for example, keeping up with evolving radar threats for simulation purposes, illustrated here with the ARAT Electronic Warfare Radar Warning Receiver Laboratory Test Cart.

forces,” said Matthew Bernhardt, associate director for SEC’s Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors Directorate.
CONCLUSION Treats are ever-changing. Highlighted in the tri-service working group was ARAT’s Simulation Modeling Framework (SMF), a game-changing solution that facilitates threat simulation sharing by standardiz- ing the format in which simulations are constructed. With minimal constraints, SMF empowers simulation builders to model threats as they operate in real-world scenarios, enabling simulations to adapt and “pace the threat” as it evolves. SMF is revolutionizing the simulation landscape across reprogramming centers, govern- ment organizations and potentially the broader industry, and driving a paradigm shift in how threat simulations are created, shared and utilized.
Teamwork will continue to prove critical as the tri-service working group estab- lishes a centralized repository and fosters an environment of open communication and information sharing. Tis approach is expected to help maintain readiness among the increased complexity of enemy threats, reduce response times to emerg- ing threats and foster progress toward joint force efforts supporting large-scale combat operations.
Te tri-service working group plans to meet again in March 2025. Its agenda includes gathering input on best practices and continuing to build a robust and effi- cient repository to support simulation sharing and overall collaboration efforts.
ARAT and the Project Management Office for Aircraft Survivability Equip- ment also plan to initiate an O-6 level forum. Tis forum’s goal is to get lead- ership buy-in and will supplement the
reprogramming working group advocacy and decision-making, while also includ- ing a hardware-related scope.
