One contributing factor to the DUMTE’s low price tag is that it “operates at a low power,” which Coyle said marries well with modern avionics’ ability “to detect low-power emissions.” Coyle said the team anticipates being able to place 50 of the systems on the range “for the cost of just one of these modern threat-emitter systems.”

The development is meant to supplement current threat resources without breaking the bank, Treece said. In response, the team developed the Dynamic Unmanned Threat Emitter (or DUMTE, for short), which Coyle said “uses a software-defined radio to digitally recreate radar waveforms” and lets Airmen “manipulate the signal and change the threat within seconds.” “This condition is insufficient for preparing our next generation of pilots for conventional warfare in a peer-to-peer or near-peer threat domains.” Goldwater Range, though threat resources are available, they are limited in number and lack fidelity, having a negative effect on the quality of F-35 pilot training,” a video about the innovation that was posted to AFWERX’s YouTube page said of the range, which serves personnel from Luke and Davis-Monthan Air Force bases, the Tuscon Air National Guard Base, and the U.S. David Coyle from Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., joined forces with Wylie Standage-Beier, a doctoral candidate in electrical engineering at Arizona State University, to develop an affordable solution for the limited and lackluster threat resources available to F-35 pilot trainees who use the Barry M. 56th Fighter Wing intelligence officers 1st Lt.
