Abstract:

This document surveys passive methods for determining the locations of airborne jammers from ground-based radar surveillance sites, and examines the prospects for supporting fully automatic measurements. The performance of these methods when confronted with noise jammers of various levels of sophistication is discussed. The technique are compared in terms of effectiveness and complexity to provide a guide for the design of ECCM subsystems associated with track-while-scan radar surveillance networks.
