True Line-of-Sight and Synthetic Line-of-Sight HWIL test facility designs.

Semi-active Laser (SAL) Testing

Monte Sano Research supports the design, integration, test, and operation of semi-active laser (SAL) HWIL test facilities, which utilize a 3-axis Flight Motion Simulator and a SAL target simulator. Monte Sano Research supports the integration, test, calibration, alignment, and real-time simulation for these test facilities.

Infrared (IR) Testing

Monte Sano Research supports the design, integration, test, and operation of an IR HWIL test facility. The test facility utilizes a 5-axis Flight Motion Simulator and an IR target simulator. Monte Sano Research supports the integration, test, calibration, alignment, operation, and real-time simulation for this test facility.

RF Testing

Monte Sano Research supports the design, integration, test, and operation of an RF HWIL test facility. The test facility utilizes a 3-axis Flight Motion Simulator and an RF target simulator. Monte Sano Research supports the integration, test, calibration, alignment, operation, and real-time simulation for this test facility.

Multi-Mode Testing

Monte Sano Research has performed requirements development for HWIL test facilities which are designed to test multi-mode sensors such as IR and RF.
