Optimization of the Penetration Probability of an Active Jamming Penetrator Versus a Single Fixed Carrier Pulsed Ground Radar
Abstract
To determine the penetration probability of an active jamming penetrator attempting to penetrate a pulsed radar's coverage the altitude of the penetrator is calculated as a function of burn-through range. Bum-through range is a parameter in a weapon system feasibility study. The bum-through range, with an assumed csc2 pattern of the ground radar, and an assumed variation of the scanned jammer sector, is used to calculate the optimum altitude. It is shown that the altitude and bum-through range decrease as the power of the jammer increases. The penetration probability increases as bum-through range decreases.
