Simulation Driver and Radar Recorder (SDRR)

The Simulation Driver and Radar Recorder (SDRR) is a simulation injection tool that can be configured to run in various environments. It allows injection of local, interfacility and surveillance messages. It provides a display of all related NAS, ARTS and surveillance facilities. The display provides message counts, device status and error messages. SDRR is an upgrade to the original suite of terminal simulation tools known as FIRS (FAA Interfacility & Radar Simulator). It incorporates familiar FIRS capabilities with the latest Linux tools available in the KDE desktop environment. SDRR was designed by JVN Communications Inc. to provide surveillance data communications to terminal & enroute ATC systems. In addition, SDRR acts as a Host simulator communicating with terminal systems in a real-time environment. It can send flight plans and respond accordingly to all terminal interfacility messages. It can also play the existing or newly built scenarios into various terminal and host systems. GSGT provides equivalent functionality to the existing HCS SIM system. GSGT generates radar, non-radar, and combined radar/non-radar tapes for use by the National Airspace System (NAS) as a source of real time inputs and facilitates the testing and integration of NAS and related subsystems. It enables simulation (SIM) developers to perform their development activities in a fraction of the time that it would normally take utilizing NAS SIM alone.

Programs/Deamons?

• sirds The main component of SDRR, this is what you run to start a simulation
  • ecgpoutd ECG? emulation originally developed for ERAM Evaluation System (EES)
  • psyncd Deamon developed to enhance RADAR and ADSB timing (requires multi-core SDRR system)
  • hgid Deamon to emulate the ecg i.e hgi protocol , ERAM connects to this when connecting to other facilities

• ssrvmanager? program to maintain socket connectivity with ssrv (needs to be started separately , as it is designed to persist over multiple sirds runs.
