NULKA Decoy
Abstract
The Offboard Active Decoy (NULKA) is a joint cooperative program between the United States and Australia that developed an active offboard decoy that utilizes a broadband radio frequency repeater mounted atop a hovering rocket. NULKA is designed to counter a wide variety of present and future radar guided Anti-Ship Missiles (ASMs) by radiating a large radar cross section while flying a ship-like trajectory. The United States developed the electronic payload and fire control system, while Australia developed the hovering rocket. Future efforts involve development of the capability for high value unit protection. Increased funding in FY 2020 required to support Decoy Launch Processor (DLP) technology refresh to address hardware obsolescence and support top side design, RCS analysis, the development of new tactics and fly-out tables for new ship class.
