[0034] Since traditional reaction time testing methods cannot automatically obtain each timestamp, it is necessary to manually replay the recorded images in combination with the timestamps to calculate and evaluate the reaction time, which leads to problems such as low reaction time acquisition accuracy. The present invention provides a test platform for the reaction time of infrared alarm and countermeasure equipment, including an electronic control system and a target simulation device and a product under test connected thereto.

A support platform and a guide rail for supporting the target source to make circular motion in the azimuth direction are arranged below the target source. The infrared point source is used to provide the infrared light required for the countermeasure device to lock the target. The detection and response unit collects the laser beam emitted by the countermeasure product through the front auxiliary optical path, and records the time point of receiving the laser through the data processing subsystem.

Before testing, the cross cursor can be aligned with the center of the optical axis of the optical system of the tested countermeasure product, thereby ensuring that the laser can enter the detection response unit.

[0042] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention objectives, the present invention also provides a method for testing the alarm reaction time and the countermeasure reaction time by using the infrared light source, the light-shielding shutter, the data processing subsystem and the like of the above-mentioned platform. The method uses the light-shielding shutter to accurately control the emission time of the alarm infrared light source, and accurately records the time when the alarm and countermeasure products under test generate alarm signals and emit lasers to determine the alarm reaction time and the countermeasure reaction time.
