The Coho RTS 1200 series is a family of advanced computer controlled radar target and ECM simulators. They can be used to simulate radar target echoes, clutter returns, interference and ECM for the purposes of radar system and missile seeker test and evaluation. The Coho can also be used to train radar operators in a realistic jamming environment. Supplied in a variety of configurations, the Coho can be used as a direct connect hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator, or as a chamber/field-radiating simulator system. Unique to the Coho is its integrated anechoic chamber simulator system configuration with an active antenna array for real time target angular motion. This capability is ideal for testing active missile seekers up to 40 GHz.

The Coho can respond to any radar with sophisticated coherent target echo returns and both coherent and non-coherent ECM signals. Using advanced DRFM technology, the Coho is capable of sending real time signal responses back to the radar to simulate single or multiple targets with angular movement (azimuth and elevation), RCS modeling and scintillation, jet engine modulation (JEM), main beam, sidelobe and volumetric clutter, as well as coherent deception and denial ECM and jamming.

The modular and open architecture of the Coho design implemented around the VXI industry standard instrumentation bus and chassis ensures extended operational life and continuous growth capability. MS-Windows driven software is provided with the Coho for easy programming of target, clutter and ECM parameters.
