Electronic Warfare in the Information Age (Radar Library) [Hardcover]

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.

Book Description
Here’s an advanced practitioner’s guide to the latest concepts and threats associated with modern electronic warfare (EW). This new book identifies and explains the newest radar and communications threats, and provides EW and radar engineers, managers, and technical professionals with practical, "how-to" information on designing and implementing ECM and ECCM systems.

Written by a world-renowned expert in radar and electronic warfare, the book helps you develop state-of-the-art ESM systems designed specifically to exploit the vulnerabilities of modern radar. It also identifies and evaluates the latest ESM receiving equipment, and outlines advanced ECM methods, including monopulse deception, coherent radar jamming, and high-ERP generation. Other well-structured sections cover modern ECCM countermeasure techniques, the impact of new stealth technology on ESM and ECM requirements, jammer upgrading procedures, and much more.

Contents: EW -- Threats, Requirements, and Principles. Modern ECM Systems -- Architectures, Types, and Technologies. Advanced Threat Radars and Missile Systems. ECM Receiving and Process System Design. ECM Applications -- System Design and Technique Solution. Advanced ECM Technology. Radar ECCM.

Software Included! More than 20 MATLAB® programs help you solve the real-world EW design problems presented at the end of each chapter. One 3.5" IBM PC-compatible diskette.
