Cooperative Deception of Radar Networks by Using Electronic Combat Air Vehicles (ECAV) Teams to Create Coherent Phantom Tracks

Abstract

Electronic Combat Air Vehicles (ECAV) are used to generate phantom radar tracks in a single or multiple radar air defense network. The vehicles use a range delay deception transponder, which sends a delayed pulse back to the radar and causes the radar to calculate an erroneous target range. This paper provides two-dimensional analyses of scenarios involving a single ECAV deceiving a single radar and multiple ECAVs deceiving an integrated network of radars using range delay deception. Closed form solutions are provided for the various cases along with graphical representations of vehicle and phantom track trajectories.
