Spinning a web of radar deception

Article Abstract:

Radar jamming, which continues to be a classified military practice, is basically the introduction of an interfering signal designed to trick the enemy radar from detecting the true target. Noise jamming, the simplest technique, has become less effective with the introduction of more sophisticated radars. The latest jamming technologies now include the possible application of computer viruses and the use of towed decoys in military aircraft.

Helicopters in the battlefield confront a formidable array of threats more than any other aircraft. Defending rotorcraft against these dangers is quite a challenging task. Yet helicopters have considerably improved chances for survival if they are equipped with the appropriate electronic warfare (EW), self-protective systems. However, the existing crop of sophisticated EW installations developed by aircraft and electronics manufacturers is quite expensive and must become more affordable if defensive aids systems are to become an essential part of helicopter aircraft equipment.

Forward digitised soldiers

Article Abstract:

New hand-held radio communication equipment used by soldiers during military operations are operated in VHF FM band, multi-capable and weigh less than one kg. The small radios provide military squads with encryption, frequency-hopping capabilities and digital data interfaces that can access the Internet. New communication equipment such as RT-1753 (C)/U, which is developed for use with the Dismounted Soldier System Unit (DSSU), are portable and can be put inside a soldier's vest pouch.
