U.S. airborne electronic warfare (EW) programs involve developing and procuring EW aircraft and EW systems that are mounted on U.S. aircraft. The President's FY2020 budget request for the Department of Defense (DOD) proposes funding for a number of airborne EW programs.
Look to this informative new reference for an in-depth, comprehensive treatment of the principles of electronic warfare (EW). Written by leading experts in the field, this authoritative book takes a systematic approach to exploring EW theory, mathematical models, and quantitative analysis. You get a detailed examination of the basic targets of EW operations, a thorough presentation of critical radar jamming methods, and definitions of the effectiveness criteria for EW systems and techniques.
Bogen er et opslagsværk om fly til recognisering, elektronisk efterretningstjeneste og jamming.
Geographic location of radar emitters is the process of estimating an emitter's location upon the surface of the earth from direction of arrival (DOA) data for the targeted emitter. The current Emitter Location (EMLOC) algorithm utilized by the Grumman EA-6B Prowler is based on a thesis presented by Mr. Richard Opperman in June 1982. With the advent of increased processing demands on the AN/AYK-14 Tactical Computer as part of recent software upgrades to the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System, it was hoped that a Kalman Filter, or Extended Kalman Filter based algorithm would reduce the processing time and memory requirements for the EMLOC algorithm. This thesis compares the current algorithm, and the Kalman/Extended Kalman Filters in a tactical scenario to determine if a change in the current Onboard Flight Program (OFP) should be recommended.
This revised edition surveys sophisticated electronic warfare systems with the latest technological advances. New material covers current radar techniques, with the latest in IR techniques, and EW weapons systems and defense equipment. It also includes an introduction to Information Operations and Information Warfare.
The air campaign mounted against North Vietnam was the first time that an integrated air defense system based around radar-controlled guns and surface-to-air missiles had been encountered. Proponents of surface-to-air missiles had claimed that their lethality would drive manned aircraft from the battlefield. At first, the U.S. Air Force was hard-pressed to neutralize North Vietnam's radar-controlled defenses, but did prevail. Electronic countermeasures support for the air war against North Vietnam included stand-off jamming, Wild Weasel operations, the use of self protection pods, and the employment of chaff. Using all these techniques, Linebacker II saw the B-52s of Strategic Air Command facing the most effective air defense system the Soviet Union could provide. The B-52s won; the much-heralded surface-to-air missiles were scoring a lower kill rate than German defenses in World War Two. This campaign laid the foundations for the technology used by the USAF to neutralize enemy defenses ever since.
Air power has been one of the key elements in modern warfare. This book, first published in 1986, analyses the likely changes to this key role as military technology and strategic thinking evolve. It begins with the history and present status of air power and assesses technical developments, and then discusses the character of future warfare, and its implications for planes and helicopters in land and sea campaigns. It also analyses issues like tactical air mobility, the vulnerability of airfields, aerial mass destruction, electronic warfare, and developments in NATO and Warsaw Pact. It concludes with an overview of the likely role of airpower in future warfare.
