Electronic Warfare Advanced Simulation Platform, EWASP Catalog

In today’s dynamic electromagnetic battlespace, modern electronic warfare (EW) systems must be tested and validated under increasingly complex, high-fidelity threat conditions. Keysight’s Electronic Warfare Advanced Simulation Platform (EWASP) meets this challenge with a flexible, scalable, and modular test environment designed to evolve with program needs—from benchtop development to full-scale operational validation.

EWASP is built on an open architecture that integrates seamlessly with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) instruments, enabling threat simulation capabilities across research and development, system integration, test ranges, and mission readiness verification. Whether simulating simple emitter scenarios or creating densely populated environments with pulse-on-pulse activity, EWASP provides engineers with the tools to build, customize, and scale scenarios with precision and confidence.

At the heart of the platform is Simulation View, Keysight’s scenario control and visualization software. This intuitive interface allows users to define, execute, and analyze multi-emitter scenarios with Angle of Arrival (AoA), dynamic platform motion, and closed-loop feedback. The software also supports mission data file validation, emitter trend tracking, and radar signal behavior modeling via plug-ins like the Mission Data File Verification (MDFV) and Event Beam modules.

EWASP combines advanced RF generation and measurement tools—like the UXG X-Series and M9484C VXG-C vector signal generators—to deliver highly synchronized RF outputs across wide bandwidths, with support for Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), pulse-on-pulse generation, and agile waveform playback. These instruments can simulate multiple signal types across up to eight virtual channels, while enabling AoA simulations and high-density emitter configurations.

On the analysis side, Keysight’s UXR-Series oscilloscopes and PathWave 89600C VSA software provide deep visibility into system performance with coherent multiport pulse analysis, demodulation, and automated verification routines. System-level calibration—supported by USB vector network analyzers and CalPod-based in-situ routines—ensures accurate amplitude, phase, and timing across all RF paths.

With EWASP, teams can start small and scale quickly. From digital-only testbeds to full turn-key threat simulators, the platform adapts to evolving requirements, reduces test time, and increases confidence in system performance. Backed by KeysightCare Solution Services, EWASP ensures sustained readiness through expert support, proactive maintenance, and calibration services.

Whether validating mission data, stress-testing system resilience, or preparing platforms for operational deployment, EWASP offers a complete, future-ready solution for electronic warfare threat simulation and analysis.
