Abstract: A method of selecting and optimizing a countermeasure for application against a novel, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes selecting a candidate countermeasure and an initial parameter set and varying at least one of the parameters while the effectiveness of the candidate countermeasure against the radar threat is assessed, for example by a human observer. Embodiments include repeating the process with additional candidate countermeasures. For an unresponsive radar threat, a previously effective countermeasure can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. For an ambiguous radar threat, at least one countermeasure previously verified as effective against a partially matching known threat can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. Correlated parameters can be simultaneously varied.

Abstract: One or more defined countermeasures are selected from a countermeasure library, populated with parameters, and applied against an unknown, ambiguous, or unresponsive imminent radar threat based on an analysis of a hostile RF waveform emitted by the radar threat. The analysis can include comparing static and/or dynamic features of the hostile RF waveform with features of known hostile RF waveforms. A parameter set associated with the selected defined countermeasure in the countermeasure library can be selected. Waveform features can be categorized and sub-categorized for comparison with the known hostile waveforms. A plurality of features can be detected and compared. The analysis can include correlating behavior patterns of a plurality of hostile RF waveforms emitted by the radar threat. A cognitive intelligence trained using a threat database and library of corresponding countermeasures can analyze the hostile RF waveform, select the defined countermeasure, and/or select or generate the parameters.
