TL;DR: The concept of a highly flexible distributed testbed to support the analysis, test, evaluation, and demonstration of advanced data processing research for ballistic missile defense is described.
Abstract: This paper describes the concept of a highly flexible distributed testbed to support the analysis, test, evaluation, and demonstration of advanced data processing research for ballistic missile defense. Categories of research and experimentation at the system, unit, and device levels are discussed; major testbed elements are described; and the levels of experimental data processing modeling are defined. Hardware considerations are discussed for establishing the computational resources and interconnect mechanisms to: (1) support simulation of weapon system processes and the external system, environment, and threat; (2) emulate tactical data processors at levels of detail ranging from the gate level to the network level; and (3) accommodate the evaluation and demonstration of laboratory model hardware and software. The basic structure and architecture of the testbed are described.
