The construction of range joint test environment is an urgent need for the actual combat test of the weapon equipments under the background of joint operations. By analyzing the outstanding problems existing in the current range, this paper expounds the necessity of constructing the joint test environment combining virtuality and reality. Based on the analysis of the development and construction measures of the United States military joint test environment and the actual needs, it is proposed that the construction and improvement of the basic platform, simulation resources, simulation evaluation and standard specifications are the basic method for the construction of range joint test environment. Two tasks of anti-saturation attack and joint air defense and self-defense are taken as typical applications to illustrate the important role of joint test environment construction.
