Multi-spectral Threat Emitter System (MTES)
The DRS Multi-spectral Threat Emitter System (MTES)
provides the most effective joint OPposing FORce (OPFOR)
training capability for pilots and aircrews to include ground
troops. It combines realistic characteristics of lethal
surface-to-air missile threats such as: Radio Frequency (RF)
signatures (full effective radiated power), InfraRed (IR)
signatures, radar cross section, command and control
communications, mobility along with full reactivity to
jamming and evasive maneuvering tactics. The MTES is
fully programmable allowing for quick changes to the threat
configuration. In addition, the system is mobile and
transportable for added realism in support of “time critical
targeting”. In a single or joint force training exercise the
ability to stimulate a multitude of sensors provides
appropriate battlefield intelligence necessary when
identification, survivability and targeting are the primary
objectives. Today’s forces need to train as they will fight.
The multi-spectral capabilities of the MTES ensure multiple
sensor stimulation and joint operational effectiveness from
one ground platform. Multi-spectral characteristics can be
manifested via unclassified shells, shaped in the form of a
threat type with embedded signatures (radar cross section,
thermal image) and/or additional capabilities hidden under
the shell (RF or C2 architecture).
