ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In a whirling geopolitical landscape of new nuclear weapons, hypersonic weapons, drones, and satellites, the US is hustling to test new kinds of radars aimed at detecting evolving threats.
Many of these tests take place in a simulated research environment created at Sandia National Laboratories. Dubbed RAMSES by its developers, the advanced modeling and simulation software is hastening the development of next-generation radars.
