Overview

This base effect type can be included in the electronic_protect or electronic_attack technique block as one of the many available effects for a given technique. The commands listed below are the base-type commands that can be specified in the effect block for this effect type.

Commands

false_target_name <string-value>

Specifies the false-target name of the false_target definition to be used by this effect.

Note

If not specified then automatic generation of false-targets will be done and default radar parameters will be used in conjunction with the default_pulse_density to generate false targets. The radar transmitter is required to have the pulse_width and pulse_repetition_interval defined for automatic generation of false targets.

jamming_pulse_density <real-value>
jamming_duty_cycle <real-value>

Specifies the jammer pulse density in range [0,1] for generating false targets. This input will override the specified quantity if a false target name is input and is mutually exclusive with number_of_false_targets. This input is used to calculate the number of false targets according to the following:

NumberOfFalseTargets = (PRI/PW) * (ScanTime/PRI) * NumberPulsesIntegrated * jamming\_pulse\_density\, NumberOfPulsesIntegrated = MaximumOf(number\_of\_pulses\_integrated,  (AzBeamWidth/ScanRate)/PRI)\,

Note

Same as the WSF_PULSE_EFFECT - jamming_pulse_density, listed here for more information.

Default: 0.1

number_of_false_targets <value>

Specifies the number of false targets that will be created for this radar type. This input will override the specified quantity if a false target name is input and is mutually exclusive with the jamming_pulse_density. This input is used to calculate the Jamming_pulse_density according to the following:

JammingPulseDensity = NumberOfFalseTargets * PW * NumberPulsesIntegrated / ScanTime\, NumberOfPulsesIntegrated = MaximumOf(number\_of\_pulses\_integrated,  (AzBeamWidth/ScanRate)/PRI)\,

Default: Use jamming_pulse_density

scan_rate_multiplier <real-value>

Specifies the false target generation scan rate multiplier for regenerating false targets. This input will be multiplied by the specified scan_rate if a false target name is input, else the scan rate of the false targets is equal to the frame_time times the scan_rate_multiplier.

Default: 1.0

speeds <min-speed-value> <max-speed-value>
blip_speeds <min-speed-value> <max-speed-value>
track_speeds <min-speed-value> <max-speed-value>

Specifies the minimum and maximum <speed-value> at which the false target blips will move. If minimum and maximum speeds are equal all speeds will be the same on the blips; if they are not equal then random speeds will be drawn with the limits and set for each false target blip separately as to its speed. The false_target, as defined with the false_target_name, definition for speeds inside the track_movement block has priority if defined, if not defined then this speed will be used. This definition will aid in Doppler radars that reject nonmoving targets.

Default: 0.0 m/s 0.0 m/s

system_type_data <system-type-name> … end_system_type_data

Input block to provide the system type (e.g., SENSOR-TYPE, JAMMER-TYPE) specific data necessary to implement this technique for a given system type. Default data can be set up for system types not defined using the “default” string as the system type.

   speeds <min-speed-value> <max-speed-value>
end_system_type_data

<system-type-name> : A string input of the system-type the following data applies to, valid values are [system-type-name | “default”]. Default data is used for unspecified system-types and if not defined no effect will be applied for the given system-type.
