This report summarizes our FY88 engineering development effort of XRLSim --- an Ada-based computer program developed to provide a realistic simulation of an x-ray laser weapon platform. XRLSim can be used to assess platform requirements in track handoff, target acquisition, tracking, and pointing as well as engagement time line. Development effort continues in FY89 to enhance the model fidelity of the platform and to improve the performance of the tracking algorithms. Simulated targets available in XRLSim include midcourse reentry vehicles and orbiting satellites. At this time, the current version of XRLSim can only simulate a one-on-one engagement scenario. 8 refs., 26 figs.
