/> STK is used for mission modeling, engineering and operations in many areas, including space, aircraft, missile defense and electronic systems. Spirent’s simulation systems, many of which use the SimGEN software, enable hardware testing of GNSS receivers, systems and applications in these areas. Linking the two offerings facilitates a progressive analysis and testing approach in which motion data for mission planning completed in STK can be ported to SimGEN. A hardware simulation, including real receiver and related system components, can then be completed consistent with the original STK motion data.

“Spirent and AGI offer complementary products, and this integration will make progressive testing easier and faster for our customers,” commented John Pottle, marketing director with Spirent’s Positioning division.

“Many of our customers want to start with software simulation but then move on to testing with real hardware,” added Peter Aves, director of Partners and Alliances for AGI.

“Spirent’s systems enable this, and we’re already working with a number of leading mutual Spirent/AGI customers who see the power of this approach.”
