Overview[]
The Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator (AFEWES), located at Air Force Plant in Fort Worth, Texas, helps to protect U.S. and allied pilots and aircraft against the missile threats posed by adversaries. The Simulator uses an array of computer hardware and software and other equipment to simulate the firing of a missile under various conditions and scenarios, precluding the need to actually fire and destroy a missile in the process. Conducting such tests provides DoD, the Department of Homeland Security, and allied governments with the necessary data to develop various countermeasures for use by military and commercial aircraft.
