The ALQ-H(X) Countermeasures System

Abstract

A 1-kw X-band broadband electronic deception repeater capable of destroying the angle coordinate tracking accuracy of operational types of conical scanning radars has been developed for installation in naval penetration-attack aircraft. Utilizing traveling-wave type rf power amplifiers, the system has, inherently, fast response , wide bandwidth,and multiple signal-handling capacity. This experimental equipment, designated the ALQ-H(X), has been subjected to field evaluation and has demonstrated an operationally useful technique. Flight tests utilizing a P2V aircraft and both ground-based and airborne radars have been conducted and are continuing.
