INTEGRATON  VERSATILE TRACKING SYSTEM

Over the past 13 years, Defence Research and Development Canada
- Valcartier (DRDC Valcartier) has developed models and an
engagement simulation environment for electro-optical and
infrared (EO/IR) guided weapons, called KARMA. This simulation
environment has been used primarily for engagements against
aerial platforms. At the same time, the Royal Canadian Navy has
adopted the Ship Air Defence Model (SADM®) as a marine
engagement simulation environment. Its EO/IR capabilities are
limited but can be enhanced by adding KARMA as a plugin that
provides signature, atmosphere, scene generation, imaging, image
processing and detection/tracking functionalities in the EO/IR
spectrum.

Although KARMA already includes seeker models and imaging sensor
models that are not seekers, it does not include an IR imaging
seeker model. KARMA's capabilities can be enhanced by adding an
IR imaging seeker head that is part of the Versatile Tracking
System (VTS) emulator developed at DRDC Valcartier.

The Canadian Forces Maritime Warfare Centre (CFMWC), Department
of National Defence (DND) has a requirement to build upon
previous work and integrate the KARMA EO/IR engagement
simulation environment into the SADM® simulation environment and
add an IR imaging seeker model to KARMA and SADM®.
