Parent topics
- Deception [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radar [r]: Acronym for "radio detection and ranging"; a system used to locate a distant object by transmission of radio waves and reception of their reflection. [e]
- Radio [r]: Transmission and reception of information, which can be voice, data or imagery over electromagnetic radiation in free space (i.e., wireless). The information is modulated onto a carrier wave [e]
- Sonar [r]: A contraction of sound navigation and ranging, formally includes the active mode in which a pulse goes out and a receiver measures the echo. Also includes hydrophones or passive, listen-only systems. [e]
Subtopics
- Electronic countermeasures suite controller [r]: A computer aboard a protected vehicle, which both aids in situational awareness of weapon and sensor threats to the vehicles, and reduces crew workload in countering the threats. Practical implementations usually include at least one electronic warfare function in the controller, such as a radar warning receiver or electronic warfare expendables dispenser. [e]
- Electronic warfare expendables dispenser [r]: Part of an integrated electronic warfare system which fires, manually or under computer control, flares, chaff, and disposable jammers, all in a compatible cartridge form factor and possibly tows intelligent reusable decoys [e]
- AN/ALE-37 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/ALE-39 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/ALE-47 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Chaff [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Flares [r]: An expendable electronic warfare decoy form of infrared countermeasures [e]
- Deceptive decoy [r]: Within the broad context of electronic warfare, which includes both electromagnetic and acoustic sensing, a device, independently launched from a target or escort, which interferes with enemy tracking or final weapons guidance [e]
- AN/ALE-55 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Sacrificial decoy [r]: Using electronic warfare techniques, a (usually) mobile transmitting device that will lure an enemy weapon to attack it rather than the real platform it is protecting [e]
- AN/ALE-50 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Infrared countermeasures [r]: Equipment and flying techniques that can break the lock of a heat-seeking missile on a target aircraft. [e]
- Laser warning receiver [r]: An electronics warfare component that detects the energy from a laser designator or laser rangefinder, warning the target to take defensive actions [e]
- Missile warning receiver [r]: An electronic warfare subsystem that detects the thermal energy, or other signatures, of a missile launch or its flight, in order to take defensive measures [e]
- Radar warning receiver [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/APR-39 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/ALR-41 [r]: Add brief definition or description
