Media Effects on Electronic Systems in the High Latitude Region
Abstract
With the NATO northern flank nations (in both the European and North American sectors) situated in the high-latitude region, with NATO air routes across the Atlantic traversing that region, and with surveillance and early- warning systems looking in the direction of the region, the propagation characteristics of the high-latitude region are of critical importance to the mission of the alliance in the areas of communications, navigation and surveillance. The advent of new systems operating at high latitudes in the field of detection, navigation and communications and the new experiments at high latitudes ranging from incoherent scatter studies to satellites for studying high latitude structure make it of considerable importance to relate the advances in high latitude studies to military systems. The Lecture Series directs its attention to propagation problems and solutions for many systems. The topics include satellite communications over polar and auroral latitudes, over-the-horizon radar, low frequency propagation under high latitude conditions, remote sensing of targets and high latitude regions by active and passive EM systems and HF communications at auroral and polar latitudes. Unique lower atmospheric effects and multipath problems of importance at high latitudes are discussed. NATO furnished.
