|
electronic support
|
|
give the definition of Electronic Protection.
|
actions taken to protect personnel, facilities, and equipment from any Electroonic Warfare employment tht may degrade, neutralize, or destroy friendly combat capability.
|
|

nic Warfare employment tht may degrade, neutralize, or destroy friendly combat capability. |
|
what is the most permanent countermeasure to Electronic Warfare ?
|
destruction
|
|
describe the QRC (quick reaction capability) program.
|
it is a program desgned to rreuce the time interval between recognition of a new threat and establishment of an operational capability to cope with it
|
|
name three ways a jamming transmitter may jam a radar.
|
1. blocking radar receiver with high concentrated power
2. masking some or all targets appearing on the radars indicator 3. creating many false targets |
|
what type of jamming has a bandwith approximately that of the victims radar ?
|
spot jamming
|
|
how do we classify sweep jammers ?
|
slow and fast, depending upon the rate at which the jamming signal is swept over its frequency band
|
|
what type of jammer is designed to put fallse targets on the radar screen?
|
repeater jamming
|
|
what do mechanical jammers consist of ?
|
all Electronic Attack devices that do not radiate electromagnetic energy . secifically reflecting , absorbing, and destruction devices.
|
|
how does chaff act as a mechanical jammer ?
|
the reradiating efficiency of chaff is greately increased when the individual strips are cut to half a wavelength of the victims radar efficiency
|
|
name the three basic types of chaff .
|
1.continuous
2.random 3 burst |
|
what factors affect chaff's screening ability ?
|
-eveness of dispersal
-relative density -the degree to which the particular chaff type reonantes at the given radar |
|
explain the use of flares.
|
they are used as a counter measure for IR receivers aboard interceptor aircraft or against an IR-seeking missile
|
|
wh are the operators the most critical elements in an EP proogram ?
|
the operatorsmust know how and when to use the different EP features of their equipment and realize how those features will affect the radars performance
|
|
what are fixes ?
|
term used to describe features designed into a radar system or modifications to existing systems that degradeor eliminate the effectiveness of EA
|
|
define Frequency Agility.
|
the ability of a radar set to rapidly tune from one frequency to another frequency
|
|
against what type of jammer is frequency agility the most successful ?
|
a manually tuned sot jammer
|
|
what is diplexing ?
|
the use of 2 seperate trqansmitters and/or receivers operating on different frequencies but using a common antenna systeem
|
|
describe some of the effects EP may have on the system employing it.
|
the use of EP may degrade the ability of a radar by limiting its range or reducing its sensitivity. to help them reach their taret system, degredations can be exploited by penetrating forces.
|
|
what is one thing that you must not do whenreporting EA ?
|
do not mention anything about EA over unsecured radios or telephones
|
|
how do you use triangulation to determine the location of a jammer ?
|
the intersection of 2 or more rdar EA strobes to determine the position of the jammer
|
|
how can you best describe spark jamming ?
|
most simple and primitive type of jamming. its when something electronic is nect to a television because it is so primitive it is easy to generate.
|
|
why is sweep-through jamming so widely used ?
|
it is easy to produce
|
|
what does stepped-tone jamming sound like ?
|
the wail of bagpipes
|
|
why is noise jamming so dangerous ?
|
because the operater can mistake it for receiver or atmospheric moise and become jammed without even noticing it.
|
|
list some of the general rules that help you in combating jamming.
|
-keep operating
-keep your temper -continue to handle traffic no matter how difficult -consider all interference unless you can otherwise -pass traffic by alternate means available(different frequencies,different types of antennas, etc) |
|
if faced with severre jamming on all frequencies, which frequencies can you use as a last resort and under what condition?
|
use the enemy's frequencies
|
|
why is it important never to reveal over the air that you are experiencing jamming ?
|
it lets the nemy know they have succeeded
|
|
what directive provides directioin and guidance concerning EMI reporting ?
|
Air Force Spectrum Interference resolution program
|
|
what is the preferred way of submitting EMI reports ?
|
via electronic message
|
|
how soon must you submit an initial report on an EMI incident ?
|
within 24 hours
|
|
what are the 3 types of reports that you can make during and EMI incident ?
|
1. initial
2. supplement or follow-on 3.closing |
|
what does a supplement EMI report contain ?
|
when you need to add modify information already submitted you may also use it request EIG ( engineering installation group) technical assistance
