  • Electronic countermeasures system and method of utilizing the same
    Patent number: 4307400
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for "masking" an aircraft or other vehicle so as to revent it from being located by an enemy radar. The vehicle is provided with means for generating and radiating a CW signal which is gated off during the reception of a radar pulse, such that a narrow gap or slot is produced in the CW signal. The reflected radar pulse in effect "falls into" this slot and hence is indistinguishable from the remainder of the CW signal as seen by the operator of the enemy radar.

  • Counter-countermeasure guidance system
    Patent number: 3943515
    Abstract: 4. A method of avoiding countermeasure jamming techniques comprising the ps of:Transmitting a signal over at least a pair of carrier waves which differ in frequency by a predetermined amount andReceiving and beating the carrier waves one against the other to obtain an intermediate frequency wave having an envelope of said signal,Whereby jamming either carrier wave will enhance the effect of said beating to increase the amplitude of the signal, thus defeating the purpose of said jamming.
