DARPA Builds ‘World’s Largest’ Real-Time EW Test Range for Next-Gen RF Systems

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has developed the Digital RF Battlespace Emulator (DRBE), the “world’s largest” virtual radio frequency test range for electronic warfare (EW).

Designed for scale and realism, the system can simulate complex EW scenarios that traditional modeling or open-air trials can’t match.

It also enables the Pentagon to develop, test, and train next-gen RF and AI-enabled EW capabilities in a fully software-defined environment, accelerating large-scale capability development.
