SOFTWARE SATURATION ECM TECHNIQUES

THE RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE AN INVESTIGATIVE STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF VARIOUS ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURE (ECM) TECHNIQUES TO DEGRADE THE PERFORMANCE OF DIGITALLY CONTROLLED THREAT WEAPON SYSTEMS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE ALGORITHMS DESIGNED TO SATURATE OR OVERLOAD THE THREAT. THE THREATS OF PRIMARY CONCERN ARE PASSIVE DETECTION/GUIDANCE SYSTEMS WHICH WILL RECEIVE SIGNALS EMITTED BY THE DETECTED TARGET, UNCONTAMINATED BY ANY REFLECTED SIGNAL. A SECONDARY APPLICATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE ECM TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ACTIVE SYSTEMS UNDER DIGITAL LOGIC CONTROL.
