Problem
Jamming is a response to an identified radar signal
Jamming techniques take time to work
You must therefore capture and analyze an entire jamming event

EW Test Challenges
You need some way of determining whether the
jammer will respond to emitters known to be in a
particular theater
Captured enemy radars are relatively rare
Test ranges exist, but its expensive to fly and difficult
to schedule
Flight testing occurs much later in the design process
Simulation Benefits
Cost effective
Sufficient realism
Time-efficient
Test much earlier in the process
