Operational Purpose and Role
EHTES is designed to prepare air force assets for operations in electromagnetically contested environments. Modern air operations involve multi-layered threats such as radar-guided surface-to-air missile systems, fire control radars, tracking radars, and integrated air defense networks. Conducting full-scale live training against real systems is costly, risky, and operationally restrictive.
EHTES addresses this gap by providing a controlled, measurable, and high-fidelity electronic warfare environment for training and system validation.
Doctrine and Concept of Use
EHTES supports multiple operational concepts:
Pilots can practice radar lock response, jamming timing, evasive maneuvers, deception techniques, and threat prioritization under realistic scenarios.
System Architecture
EHTES features a multi-layered architecture:
Radar Threat Instrumentation
Ground-based radar systems or radar threat simulators are instrumented and configured to generate threat emissions representative of operational systems. Public sources do not disclose detailed radar band specifications; however, threat parameters are scenario-configurable.
Data Collection & Synchronization
The system collects and synchronizes:
All data streams are time-synchronized for high-precision analysis.
Real-Time 3D Visualization & Replay
During and after missions:
are visualized in a 3D environment for comprehensive analysis.
Mission Planning & Debrief Software
The software suite includes:
This architecture allows EHTES to function not only as a training range but also as a test and validation environment for electronic warfare systems.
Survivability & System Resilience
EHTES is not a weapon system but an infrastructure. Survivability measures focus on:
Engagement & Performance Analysis
A key strength of EHTES is its kill/escape probability modeling. The system evaluates:
Specific algorithmic parameters are not publicly disclosed.
Integrated Ecosystem
EHTES can interface with:
It supports integration with real ATC systems for operational realism.
Advantages Against Modern Threats
Limitations:
Cannot replicate the full electromagnetic complexity of actual combat
Does not involve live missile firing
Variants and Configurations
