DOUBLE PULL ELECTRONIC COUNTER-COUNTERMEASURES (ECCM)

THE PHASE I PROJECT INVESTIGATES AND DEFINES NEW ECCM TECHNIQUES THAT WILL COUNTER AND NEGATE THE EFFECTS OF DOUBLE PULL COUNTERMEASURES. THE PROJECT EXAMINES ECCM ISSUES AND ALTERNATE IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHES. CANDIDATE ECCM APPROACHES INCLUDE: TARGET DECORRELATION ALGORITHMS; HOMODYNE SIGNAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES; SPREAD SPECTRUM RF CODING; AND PRF STAGGER CODING. PHASE I CONDUCTS RADAR PROCESSING AND ECM RESEARCH; DEFINES ECCM OBJECTIVES AND CONSTRAINTS; INVESTIGATES AND DEFINES NEW ECCM TECHNIQUES; CONDUCTS TRADE-OFFS AND SELECTS TECHNIQUES; DETERMINES ECCM PERFORMANCE AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY; OUTLINES PROTOTYPE IMPLEMENTATIONS TO EVALUATE THE NEW TECHNIQUES; AND DEVELOPS A PLAN FOR FUTURE ECCM DEMONSTRATION IN A FLYABLE BRASSBOARD MODEL.
