1. A threat emitter system comprising:
a threat emitter comprising
a main power supply in communication with an external power source;
a first sequencer connected to receive electrical power from the main power supply;
a driver amp connected to receive electrical power from the main power supply;
a second sequencer connected to receive electrical power from the main power supply;
a main amp connected to receive electrical power from the main power supply; and
a radio connected to receive electrical power from the main power supply;
a three-way power supply connected to receive electrical power from the main power supply and configured to supply three distinct DC voltages;
a mixer connected to receive electrical power from the three-way power supply;
a synthesizer connected to receive electrical power from the three-way power supply;
a pre-amp connected to receive electrical power from the three-way power supply; and
at least two cooling fans connected to receive electrical power from the three-way power supply; and
an antenna in communication with the main amp;
a user interface in communication with the radio;
wherein the radio is in communication with the mixer;
wherein the mixer is in communication with the synthesizer;
a filter in communication between the mixer and the pre-amp;
wherein the driver amp is in communication with the pre-amp;
wherein the first sequencer is in communication with the driver amp;
wherein the driver amp is in communication with the main amp;
wherein the second sequencer is in communication with the main amp; and
a processor with access to a memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including:
setting a waveform power (dB) to a selected value;
setting a waveform frequency at a selected value;
setting a waveform bandwidth at a selected value;
setting a waveform pulse duration at a selected value; and
setting a waveform pulse repetition interval at a selected value.
