SPECIAL WAVEFORM ECM EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS - PD/SEEKER

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF COST, SIZE, WEIGHT AND POWER CONSUMPTION FOR EW EQUIPMENT LEAD THE ARMY, AND OTHER SERVICES, TO EXAMINING WAYS AND MEANS OF OBTAINING MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM EXISTING OR EMERGING EW SYSTEMS BY MAKING BEST USE OF "NON-EXOTIC" ECM TECHNIQUES. THE EXISTENCE OF ADVANCED DOPPLER THREAT TRACKING SYSTEMS MAKES THIS EXAMINATION MORE COMPLEX AND IS MORE DEMANDING FOR ECM. SPECIAL WAVEFORM ECM TECHNIQUES ARE A CLASS OF "NON-EXOTIC" TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE SHOWN SOME PROMISE IN THIS AREA BUT HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED, ANALYZED, AND EVALUATED. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED AREA OF WORK IS TO DESIGN, ANALYZE, ASSESS, EVALUATE AND OPTIMIZE SPECIAL WAVEFORM ECM TECHNIQUES AGAINST THREAT SYSTEMS USING DOPPLER AND MONOPULSE PRINCIPLES. THE PRIMARY TOOL TO BE USED IN THIS WORK AREA IS COMPUTER MODELING AND ANALYSIS BASED ON THE EXISTING MTS ECM EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION MODEL. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE/PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED PHASE I WORK IS TO MODIFY SOME EXISTING MTS STRUCTURES TO INCORPORATE A DOPPLER TRACKING LOOP AND VELOCITY ECM TECHNIQUES IN THOSE MODEL STRUCTURES. WITH COMPLETION OF PHASE I, COMPUTER MODELS WILL BE A PLACE SO THAT DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED AND THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE REACHED.
