Abstract
A system and method is provided for detecting emitter signals and for determining a scan strategy for a receiver system that receives such emitter signals. In one embodiment, the scan strategy may be computed to operate in a manner cognizant of on-board active jammers, optimizing the jammer band and intercept band performance. The additional inputs for this task are a jammer band assignment table, and a blanking assignment table. The capability to generate “dry” (no jam) and “wet” (jamming) scan strategies for an emitter set is provided, with separate intercept rules for each.
Claims6
A method for use in detecting emitter signals, the method comprising acts of:
- determining, for at least one emitter, a period at which a jamming signal to jam at least one signal generated by the at least one emitter is applied by an on-board jammer;
- and
- determining, for the at least one emitter, a detection period in which an on-board receiver is configured to detect the at least one signal generated by the at least one emitter, wherein the act of determining the detection period is based on the period in which the jamming signal is applied.
A computer-readable medium having computer-readable signals stored thereon that define instructions that, as a result of being executed by a computer, instruct the computer to perform a method for use in detecting emitter signals, the method comprising acts of:
- determining, for at least one emitter, a period at which a jamming signal to jam at least one signal generated by the at least one emitter is applied by an on-board jammer;
- and
- determining, for the at least one emitter, a detection period in which an on-board receiver is configured to detect the at least one signal generated by the at least one emitter, wherein the act of determining the detection period is based on the period in which the jamming signal is applied.
