LFAD VS GUIDED MUNITIONS

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A NEW DECEPTION COUNTERMEASURE TECHNIQUE TO COUNTER ADVANCED GUIDED WEAPON SYSTEMS. PRIOR EXPERIMENTATION PERFORMED AT ARC DEMONSTRATED THE INTERACTIONS OF THE LFAD ANGULAR DECEPTION TECHNIQUE, SUPERIMPOSED ON TARGET LINE-OF-SIGHT RATE, AND THE IMPACT UPON MICROWAVE WEAPON SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. THESE PROJECTS EXPLORED SEVERAL OPERATIONAL SITUATIONS AND IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL WEAPON SYSTEM WEAKNESS. THE LFAD TECHNIQUE IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ALL GUIDANCE SYSTEMS EMPLOYED ON SMART MUNITIONS AND THUS IS A PRIME CANDIDATE AS A STRESSOR OF USA ADVANCED MUNITIONS FOR ESTABLISHING EW VULNERABILITY. PHASE I PROPOSES TO EVALUATE AND SYNTHESIZE A UNIQUE SYSTEM DESIGN FOR PROVIDING A MULTISPECTRAL LFAD SMART MUNITION CM SYSTEM.
