Advanced Electronic Protection Enhancements AEPE
Abstract
The advanced electronic protection (EP) enhancement program funds efforts to assess and initiate development of fixes to the Army's air and missile defense systems vulnerability to digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) deceptive electronic attack (EA). The assessment effort includes both radars and RF data links and will incorporate the latest threat information, comparable work being executed by the other services and conceptual EP solutions. The conceptual solutions will be a combination of direct individual sensor mitigation techniques and multiple sensor network approaches. The tasks are: (1) Conduct individual radar and RF guided missile digital simulations capable of assessing system performance when exposed to current and future deceptive EA techniques. (2) Purchase and modify commercial and military off-the-shelf DRFM injection units to insert actual high fidelity EA signals into the radar's and guided missile's receivers. (3) In conjunction with the Joint Electronic Protection for Air Combat (JEPAC) unit and the Army Research Laboratory's Survivability Assessment Directorate conduct and evaluate field tests of deceptive EA against Army air and missile defense systems. Use results to formulate near term tactics, technique and procedures for immediate fielding and to identify the highest priority areas to concentrate future development efforts. (4) Develop and implement models of Army air and missile defense systems and electronic attack effects to be used to the Extended Air Defense Simulation (EADSIM) for initial assessment of deceptive EA effects on the overall defense capability and potential network-based solutions. (5) Based on the results obtained from the simulations and field tests initiate the development of countermeasure EP techniques for air and missile defense radars and guided missile seekers.
