Description
Kratos-CTIs (CTI) Digital RF Memory (DRFM) based
RTG/RES are used in laboratories, anechoic chambers, test ranges, and airborne platforms for high
fidelity radar performance verification, radar mode
and ECCM technique development, radar production testing and radar operating training. Operating in
free space or direct connect/inject configuration,
the RTG/RES is one of the most cost effective and
versatile tools used in the radar life cycle.
The system is unique in that it does not require information from radar data buses; all of the radar pulse/
PRI/dwell characteristics are faithfully recorded,

modulated and regenerated using the latest DRFM

technology. The generic functionality of the RTG/
RES allows the system to be used for testing of many
different types of radars and RF seekers.
This new technology will be used by the world leaders in DRFM based simulators, where high fidelity,
multi-scatter returns with low spurious is required.
Kratos-CTI can also custom tailor designs to meet
your specific applications. Contact the factory to discuss your special requirements.
