The paper presents a description of an image-based simulation system, the Optronic System Simulator (OSSIM). OSSIM provides the ability to model the individual components in detail, but also accurately models the interaction between the components, including the unfolding of the engagement scenario. The specific objective with this simulation is to provide an environment to support in-depth modelling of all aspects of the system, capable of supporting the subtle complexities in the missile-aircraft-DIRCM engagement. The simulation environment was used with great effectiveness to develop other weapon systems and flare countermeasures.
