UV Range Simulators
UV Range Simulators
Overview
Textron Systems' operational range systems deliver the same rich, high-fidelity environment enjoyed in systems integration laboratories and on flight lines to training ranges for seamless interoperability and maximized training outcomes. Our modular design allows easy configuration of a multispectral system for training and test to support advanced sensor fusion.

MAST ™
Man-Portable Aircraft Survivability Trainer
- Provides after-action video to pilot crews
- Cost-effective, man-portable aircraft survivability trainer
- Utilizes commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) components
- Accurately replicates the visual effects of an infrared (IR) threat-based weapon
- Stimulates UV-based aircraft survivability equipment systems for realistic aircrew training events
- Provides GPS coordinates, azimuth and degree-from-horizontal during launch sequence
Textron Systems' MAST is designed to deliver threat stimulation of missile warning systems, replicating the UV effects of surface-to-air missiles. MAST offers day/night video recording for after-action review to support pilot capability building and technique development.
MAST can simulate the AAR-47, -54, -57 and -60 missile warning systems utilized by the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and allied forces. It utilizes COTS components. The optical simulator incorporates a light-emitting diode (LED) array for accurate stimulation. Its integrated virtual seeker replicates the difficulty of acquiring and launching a man-portable air defense system.
UV LED MALLINA™ -180
Ultraviolet (UV) Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Mallina-180
- Stimulates UV missile warning systems (MWS)
- LED technology for nighttime training
- Instantaneous modulation of any depth for advanced hostile fire
- Training aid for aircraft survivability equipment
- Remotely operated
The Mallina is a development and operational test and evaluation tool, as well as a training aid for aircraft military vehicle and ship missile defense systems. It can be operated remotely using a communication serial data bus or mounted on a tripod, and is sufficiently rugged for vehicle mounting and operation.
Additional Specifications
- Dimensions: 250 mm x 250 mm x 500 mm
- Operating Temperature: -40 to 55°C
- Ranges:
- 500 m to 8 km (-50 version)
- 500 m to 10 km (-180 version)
PHANTOM™ -UL BEAM RIDER
Dual-Laser Threat Emitter
- Designed to stimulate laser warning receivers (LWR) and ultraviolet (UV) missile warning sensors (MWS)
- Rugged training and test aid that is easy to aim and operate
- Multiple laser wavelengths are available
- Threat scenarios can be a combined laser and UV stimulation or UV and laser separately
- Fully rechargeable, battery-operated system; delivers precise and reliable functionality
The Phantom-UL has been designed to provide both a laser threat and a synchronized temporal missile plume signature to simulate both the aircraft’s laser and missile warning systems. Training aircrew to counter maneuver a Laser Beam Riders (LBR) threat is considered essential to survival and in-air training. The Phantom-UL can be deployed either on a shoulder or tripod mount.
UV GRIFFEN™ -50
Ultraviolet (UV) Griffen-50 is a medium-range, electro-optical (EO) system
- Systems enable stimulation of medium-range engagements for opposing forces
- Handheld or supported on a simple tripod
- Battery-operated
- Programmed to radiate a temporal missile plume
- Optional management software package available for creating and downloading test templates
The Ultraviolet (UV) Griffen-50 is a medium-range, electro-optical (EO) system designed to stimulate UV missile warning systems (MWS) such as AN/AAR-47, -54, -57 (CMWS) , -60 (MILDS) and MAWS 200/300. This ruggedized, military specification (MIL-SPEC) system can be used as an independent confidence go/no-go test set while the aircraft is airborne, post-mission or as a rapidly deployable training aid.
