ESM-Sensors for Tactical Information in Air Defence Systems
Abstract
The main prn%ose of this paper is to inspire investigation efforts in clarifying whether ESM-sensors can become components of a cost-effective Integrated Air Defence System for an lntemafional Reaction Force as we think ilmt the potential of ESM-sensors in air defence is not yet fully recogmzed and analysed. The planning and conducting of air attacks with today's and ton%on-ow's tecbnology seen% to increasingly n%ake use of electromagnetic emissions fi%m afrbome platfon%s ESM-sensors can pick up these emissions; such sensors are likely to become more available due to the current technical development. The paper tries to enlighten the applicability of ESM-sensors in Air Defence Systems by presenting and discussing the different types of infoimation they supply. An analysis of position accuracy is presented. Some principles for integrating ESM-sensors in a radar-based Air Defence System are suggested.
