EWAWS is a standalone real-time C++ library for radar, electronic warfare and weapon dynamics simulation. It provides ready to use and reconfigurable models for various weapons and EW equipment.
Available models include:
- Weapons
- Guided missiles
- Bombs
- EW Equipment
- Airborne, surface based and naval radars
- IR seeker
- Laser designator and seeker
- Countermeasures (Jammers, chaff, flare etc. )
EWAWS simulation models are physics based and can be reconfigured to simulate type specific equipment and weapons, e.g. AIM-120 with its onboard radar. Models can be built by editing XML configuration files, C++ programming is not necessary.

SDK Simulation Features
All RTDynamics models are part of a single C++ library, this allows developers to use the same SDK to integrate the products into their simulations. Models can also run in the same simulation world, for example all helicopter and aircraft models can carry EWAWS radar models, or can be targets of a EWAWS missiles.
