Abstract: A method of interdicting a guided missile equipped with an active radar-controlled guidance system is shown to include generating decoy signals in a transponder on an armed decoy launched from a ship being attacked toward such missile, such decoy signals initially obscuring echo signals from the ship to cause the apparent position of the ship (as measured by the active radar-controlled guidance system) to differ from the actual position of the ship, and, when the decoy and guided missile are in proximity with one another, exploding a warhead on the decoy to destroy the guided missile.

Abstract: A technique is described whereby a continuous wave radar transmitting a carrier with wide band modulation may be arranged adaptively to null large clutter returns from clutter at any range or azimuth.
