Electronic Warfare in the Information Age

This is an advanced practitioner’s guide to current concepts and threats associated with modern electronic warfare (EW). It identifies and explains the newest radar communications threats, and provides practical, how-to information on designing and implementing ECM and ECCM systems. The aim of the text is to help the reader develop ESM systems designed specifically to exploit the vulnerabilities of modern radar. It also identifies and evaluates ESM receiving equipment, and outlines advanced ECM methods, including monopulse deception, coherent radar jamming, and high-ERP generation. Other sections cover modern ECCM countermeasure techniques, the impact of new stealth technology on ESM and ECM requirements, and jammer upgrading procedures.
