Abstract: Techniques are provided for jammer detection. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes estimating an angle of arrival of a jamming signal, the jamming signal included in a received signal, and generating a direction finding (DF) confidence indicator associated with the estimated angle of arrival. The method also includes extracting the jamming signal from the received signal. The method further includes correlating the extracted jamming signal with previously extracted jamming signals to generate a correlation score and using the correlation score as a uniqueness assessment of the extracted jamming signal. The method further includes identifying characteristics of the extracted jamming signal and generating a characterization confidence indicator. The method further includes demoting the extracted jamming signal to non-jammer status based on one or more of the DF confidence indicator, the uniqueness assessment, and the characterization confidence indicator.
