Abstract
Apparatus for simulating ultraviolet (UV) signatures of missiles includes a memory, control electronics, drive electronics and at least one solid-state UV-radiation emitter. Waveform data that is characteristic of the UV-signatures of different types of missiles is stored in the memory. The control electronics retrieve specific waveform data from the memory in response to an operator's selection of at least one of one or more different types of missiles and processes the retrieved waveform data to generate a waveform signal that simulates the UV-signature(s) of the selected missile(s). The drive electronics respond to the generated waveform signal by causing the at least one solid-state UV-radiation emitter to emit UV radiation simulating the UV-signature(s) of the missile(s). The apparatus is mounted on a hand-held chassis. Operator controls are included in a hand grip of the chassis.
