Since the introduction of the MISSIM test device for self-protection systems in 2009, the second generation (MK2) has reached the end of its product life cycle and will no longer be sold. The service and availability of spare parts for the second generation of the test device are ensured for the years to come, RUAG writes in a press release.
The latest 4-in-1 MISSIM (MK3) handheld test device is used to check the proper functioning of self-protection systems. According to RUAG, the sensor tester provides a “go or no-go” result for the forthcoming flight. The multifunctional sensor tester is compatible with most self-protection systems, does not require modifications to the flight system and can be used by both crews and manufacturers (OEMs), RUAG emphasises. In addition to improved ergonomics, the latest generation has an additional emitter. Reportedly, the test device can simulate almost all threat scenarios using a radar, laser, guided missiles (UV and/or IR profile) and hostile fire.
