1. A method for providing inflight training scenarios for a radar warning receiver aboard a military aircraft comprising the steps of:

  • storing data including an indication of the type and position of simulated search and threat weapon radar sources relative to an arbitrary point at which said training scenario is started,determining the position of said military aircraft with respect to said arbitrary point,determining the attitude and position of said aircraft, and computing coordinates which represent the location of said aircraft with respect to simulated radar source coordinates,comparing the position of said aircraft with respect to said arbitrary point to the position of simulated radar sources as reflected by said stored data to determine the distance between said aircraft and said simulated radar sources,providing a visual display of those simulated radar sources that are within a predetermined range from said aircraft,providing an audible signal to the operator of said radar warning receiver upon said aircraft coming within a predetermined distance of certain ones of said simulated radar sources,providing an input via the controls of said radar warning receiver indicating simulated radar sources associated with certain types of anti aircraft weapons systems that are not to be displayed; and

    preventing the display of said last mentioned simulated radar sources when said last mentioned input is present.
