Research On The Synthetic Terrestrial Environment For Ground-to-air Missile Test Range Simulation

With the background of the Ground-to-air Missile simulation testing, the dissertation first addresses the Synthetic Terrestrial Environment (STE) and the Ground-to-air Missile Virtual Proving Ground (GMVPG) based on the Synthetic Environment (SE) and the Synthetic Natural Environment (SNE), discussing the relations between the STE and the Ground-to-air Missile, and the essentiality of the STE in the Ground-to-air Missile simulation.Then an STE concept reference model is given. Finally we'll be discussing the process, in which the source data of the STE will be managed with the strategies, including integrating, thinning and compounding, the STE Data will be represented and interchanged with the Data Representation and Interchange Specification, and as a environment federate, the STE will participated in the federation to ensure the interoperability requirements. A real time distributing Ground-to-air Missile Simulation Testing Synthetic Terrestrial Environment (GMSTSTE) is implemented on the graphics workstation.This dissertation takes some research about the Synthetic Terrestrial Environment (STE) and its primary works are as follows:(1) The STE Conceptual Reference Model.(2) the strategies of the STE database, including the source data classified gathering, the exchange-oriented STE database generation model, building, presentment and exchange of the STE database.(3) Large Area Database Management (LADBM) in the STE and dynamic terrain.The STE has been successfully applied to the Ground-to-air Missile simulation testing for a certain air base.
