Radar simulation apparatus comprising a microprocessor system having an input subsystem for receiving the output stream of data from a target generator, and having an output subsystem capable of displaying a simulated radar return image, and being adapted to interact with said target generator and process its output, including timing means responsive to said stream from said target generator for initiating said processing a preselected period after an interruption of said data that exceeds a predetermined rate for packets of said data, assembly means responsive to target coordinate data for converting it to a predetermined coordinate system that is compatible with said output subsystem and assembling the converted target data in digital storage by age such that each target has at least one digital bit that correlates to a position on the predetermined coordinate system including an index that correlates to the time relative to other targets that the target data was received by the system, decay means responsive to the relative age of the stored coordinates and including a preselected color table having a relationship to said index, for rotating the color table in coordination with said rate such that the color related to said index changes from one color to another and will progressively appear less bright on said output subsystem each time said table is rotated, and presentation means responsive to said stored coordinates and said decay means for providing a signal to said output subsystem that denotes the coordinates of the targets in storage and their relative intensities by age, said microprocessor means comprising a general purpose computer adapted by software, and wherein said timing means, said assembly means, said decay means and said presentation means are adjustable by software modification for use of said system with a plurality of target generators.
