Method, system and apparatus for maximizing a jammer's time-on-target and power-on-target

An electronic signal jamming system, comprising:

• a jamming signal transmitter;
• an electronic signal tuner;
• a jamming system controller for processing electronic signals collected by said electronic signal tuner,
• wherein during a first time period, the jamming signal transmitter transmits a jamming signal in a first frequency segment comprising first frequencies,
• wherein during a second time period subsequent to the first time period, the jamming signal transmitter stops transmitting, while the electronic signal tuner collects signals in a second frequency segment comprising second frequencies different from the first frequencies, and
• wherein during a third time period subsequent to the second time period, the jamming signal transmitter resumes transmitting the jamming signal in the first frequency segment, while at a same time the controller processes the signals collected during the second time period in the second frequency segment by the electronic signal tuner, and then, before any further signals are collected by the electronic signal tuner, the jamming signal transmitter transmits the jamming signal in the second frequency segment responsive to the signals collected during the second time period in the second frequency segment by the electronic signal tuner and processed by the controller.
