Integrated phased array (ipa) thermal subsystem fluid loop simulator

An apparatus for facilitating testing of a payload comprising:

• a fluid inlet port configured to receive fluid from a thermal subsystem of the payload, the fluid inlet port configured to be detachably coupled to the thermal subsystem of the payload;
• an actuating device in fluid communication with the fluid inlet port, the actuating device configured to provide fluid to a heat exchanger;
• a valve configured to receive the fluid from the heat exchanger, the valve configured to separate the fluid into a first fluid line and a second fluid line;
• a first filter configured to filter the fluid in the first fluid line;
• a second filter configured to filter the fluid in the second fluid line;
• a first fluid outlet port configured to supply the fluid from the first fluid line to the thermal subsystem of the payload, the first fluid outlet port configured to be detachably coupled to the thermal subsystem of the payload;
• and
• a second fluid outlet port configured to supply the fluid from the second fluid line to the payload, the second fluid outlet port configured to be detachably coupled to the thermal subsystem of the payload.
