한국형 전투기(KF-X) AESA 레이다 개발 검증을 위한 점진적인 시험평가 전략 = Progressive Test and Evaluation Strategy for Verification of KF-X AESA Radar Development

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper describes a progressive test and evaluation strategy for verification of Korean Fighter eXperimental(KF-X) AESA(Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar development. Three progressive stages of developmenttest and evaluation were officially performed from simulated test conditions to actual operating conditions accordingto standards: radar function/performance and avionics integration. KF-X AESA radar development is repeatedlyverified by progressive stages consisting of five tests: Roof-lab ground test, System Integration Laboratory(SIL)ground test, Flying Test Bed(FTB) test, KF-X ground test, and KF-X flight test. As a result, the risk factordecreases as stages and tests progress. Therefore, development test and evaluation of KF-X AESA radar aresuccessfully performed at low development risk.
