Electronic Warfare In The Information Age

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.

Schleher (Navy Postgraduate School) begins by familiarizing the reader with the numerous acronyms associated with EW<-->e.g. C2W (command and control warfare), EA (electronic attack), IW (information warfare), and DRFMs (digital radio frequency memories). Coverage includes threats, requirements, and principles; advanced radar threat; EA against modern radar systems; electronic warfare support; expendables and decoy systems; stealth technology; and radar jamming modeling. The disk includes 50 MATLAB programs for use with the text's many examples. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
