This paper details a simulation tool for assessing the effect of variable operating conditions on an automatic target recognition system. The simulation tool helped to assess the impact of variable operating conditions and hardware capability on the performance of distributed target recognition systems. Its user interface allowed for real-time monitoring of the best object classification, its associated likelihood value, and the time required to make the classification. Testing revealed that the available network bandwidth and the number of processing nodes used to compute most greatly influenced system performance, followed closely by the level of resolution of the target model images
