INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENT FOR RADAR CROSS SECTION AND INFRARED SIGNATURE MODELING, SIMULATION AND MANAGEMENT OF AERONAUTICAL PLATFORMS VIRAF is an integrated software environment for radar cross section (RCS) and infrared (IR) signature modeling, simulation and management of aeronautical platforms, both at the component and the system levels. It is a modular framework which allows manufacturers to start optimizing an aircraft’s electromagnetic (EM) design at the earliest stages. VIRAF includes a suite of advanced EM modeling and simulation tools which have been extensively validated throughout IDS’s 30 years of experience providing radar and infrared signature simulation and measurement services. Feedback from IDS’s engineers is also used to continuously update and improve VIRAF’s tools and working procedures with the aim of reducing the time and cost for an optimized aeronautical design solution. VIRAF provides a full framework for the management of complex designs through project/version data organization, streamlined workflows, input, output, settings and results history tracking and the ability for multiple users to work on the same project. It includes tools to interface with most common commercial CAD software as well as an advanced meshing tool to generate numerical models to be used by the signature prediction codes. Viraf Main Applications To successfully complete their missions, modern military aircraft increasingly rely on staying undetected for as long as possible and to detect their targets before they themselves are detected.
