World Wide Conflicts And Related Testing
Requirements
World Wide Threats are divest and complex. They vary from low tech
IED to high tech hypersonic weapons. WSMR remains a critical, and
sometimes the only, test range that can support testing needs.
Future threats like hypersonic weapons and proposed defensive
systems such as lasers systems will increase WSMR importance

WSMR System of Systems Testing
Large, reconfigurable range with abundant airspace and
available frequencies.
Total available airspace: 155 x 132 Miles. WSMR has the ability to
broadcast over the entire frequency spectrum including sensitive FAA
frequencies due to the remoteness and secured airspace.
Varying terrain with threat representative targets and
environments.
WSMR has the ability to jam GPS for testing purposes
Collaborative systems and networks at WSMR are
available for System of Systems use at low cost.
Many components are present and available at WSMR for System of
Systems testing events.
WSMR has a long history of Systems of Systems testing and is one of the few places large scale System
of Systems testing can be accomplished. WSMR provides a comprehensive array of test capabilities
enabling testing at a low cost. WSMR offers:

JMITS – (Joint Mobile IRCM Test System)
….is a mobile, self-contained, ground-based, open-
air missile simulator capable of replicating
MANPADS threat signatures in both the IR and UV
bands.
Seeker / Radiometric Van
….is a mobile system consisting of a 53-foot trailer
and a Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM). This system is
capable of using up to 8 IR seekers at one time,
depending upon seeker configurations, to test IRCM
system performance.
…coupled with this van is a radiometric suite of
imagers and spectrometers, collecting signature
information.
