Research abstract
IN PHASE I THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ADDING NOISE SOURCES TO EXISTING RVS AND DECOYS TO IMPROVE ABM PENETRATION BY DEGRADING THE SIGNAL-TO-NOISE CAPABILITY OF DEFENSE RADARS. DESIGN COMBINATIONS OF ELECTRONICS, BATTERIES AND ANTENNAS WILL BE DEFINED TO EVALUATE ACHIEVABLE SIGNAL-TO-MASKING HISTORIES AGAINST THE ABM THREAT RADARS AND TO DETERMINE THE ASSOCIATED PENALTIES IN WEIGHT/VOLUME AND THEREFORE IN DEPLOYMENT NUMBERS ON MMIII. PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO PLASMA EFFECTS, RADAR AGILITY IN FREQUENCY AND PRF AS WELL AS DEGRADATION OF RADAR DISCRIMINATION CAPABILITY. FOWLER-MULLIN ASSOCIATES WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE ELECTROMAGNETICS SYSTEM DIVISION OF THE RAYTHEON COMPANY.
