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 counters 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. FY21 funding includes Decoy Launcher Processor (DLP) technology refresh to address obsolescence issues. This effort consists of development of the Decoy Launch Message Convertor (DLMC) and delivery of Engineering Development Models (EDMs) to support Factory Qualification Testing (FQT) and Environmental Qualification Testing (EQT) to improve employment of the NULKA system.
