The jammer does not know if their jamming is effective before operator starts changing radar transmission settings. Using EW countermeasures will give away radar capabilities thus on peacetime operations most military radars are used on fixed frequencies, at minimal power levels and with blocked Tx sectors toward possible listeners (country ...
The jammer's continuous transmissions will provide a clear direction to the enemy radar, but no range information. [1] Deception may use a transponder to mimic the radar echo with a delay to indicate incorrect range. [1] Transponders may alternatively increase return echo strength to make a small decoy appear to be a larger target. [1]
The Sky Shadow radar jammer was designed for and carried by the RAF's Tornado GR1 and GR4 (now retired). [1] The ECM pod weighed around 200 kg, and was around 3 metres long. It operated in the G to J bands. [2] The Sky Shadow was hastily fitted to Harrier GR3 aircraft in the Falklands War, on the aircraft's 30mm gun pod. The RAF purchased ...
This variant of the MALD decoy can operate in both decoy and jammer modes. It has a datalink for situational awareness and in-flight targeting adjustments. The decoy and jammer configurations are key enablers supporting the Air Force Global Strike, Global Response, Space and C4ISR, and the Air and Space Expeditionary Force Concepts of Operations.
An electronic-warfare aircraft is a military aircraft equipped for electronic warfare (EW), that is, degrading the effectiveness of enemy radar and radio systems by using radar jamming and deception methods. [1] In 1943, British Avro Lancaster aircraft were equipped with chaff in order to blind enemy air defence radars.
Barrage jammers also have the disadvantage that they are very easy to detect using a wideband receiver. This can be used to track the jammer using a variety of techniques. A well developed instance of this was deployed by the RAF in their RX12874 network, which could track jammer-carrying aircraft with accuracy equal to a radar. More generally ...

The AN/APG-78 Longbow is a millimeter-wave fire-control radar (FCR) target acquisition system and the Radar Frequency Interferometer (RFI), which are housed in a dome located above the main rotor. [4] [5] The radome's raised position enables target detection while the helicopter is behind obstacles (e.g. terrain, trees or buildings). The APG-78 ...
