Range Deception Jamming Performance Evaluation for Moving Targets in a Ground-Based Radar Network

Abstract

With the rapid development of electronic information technology, the forms and technologies of electronic warfare have become more complicated, and electronic countermeasures (ECMs) and electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCMs) have become fierce in recent years. Networked radars have become an important means of ECMs due to their “four anti-resistance performance” against electronic jamming, anti-stealth, anti-radiation missiles, and low-altitude penetration. Based on this, this paper evaluates the performance of range deception jamming on an air-based jammer in a ground-based radar network. In this paper, the ground-based radar coordinate system conversion relationship is first established. Then, the statistical variance data fusion criterion for the radar network is constructed. Hence, based on the data fusion criterion, the jamming range delay boundary and the radar position information are recorded. Finally, the jamming performance evaluation can be achieved by analyzing the relationship between the jamming range delay and the radar position. The results of the simulated experiments reveal that when the jamming range delay is sufficiently small, the radar network system can be interfered with successfully by the range false target.
