At first blush, escort jamming seems a relatively simple task. It involves the transmission of jamming signals into red force ground-based air surveillance and Fire Control/Ground-Controlled Interception (FC/GCI) radars.
At first blush, escort jamming seems a relatively simple task. It involves the transmission of jamming signals into red force ground-based air surveillance and Fire Control/Ground-Controlled Interception radars. This helps protect blue force aircraft as they perform their missions in contested airspace. Red force radars will be the eyes of an Integrated Air Defence System protecting all, or a large part, of a nation’s airspace.
Jamming signals may also transmit malicious computer code into the radar. Most contemporary radars are digital systems using software to generate and interpret their signals and control their operation. Malicious code can be transmitted into communications antennas or potentially even the radar antenna to infect the radar. Alternatively, as the radars are likely to be networked, the code may spread across the communications links connecting the radars to the GCI.
The FuMG-62D and ALQ-99 both have details regarding their signal strengths available in the public domain. As one can imagine, such details can be closely guarded secrets. However, the FuMG-62D is now beyond obsolete and the ALQ-99 is in its twilight years. Shrike was developed by the US Navy’s Naval Weapons Centre. Packages of Iron Hand aircraft included Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and A-3 Skywarrior series combat aircraft. These planes were escorted by Vought F-8 Crusader variant fighters. The missions were dedicated to finding and destroying radar-guided SAM and AAA batteries the Soviet Union had supplied to its North Vietnamese allies. Radar Warning Receivers would advise A-3 and A-4 pilots that a hostile radar was nearby and active.
The Luftwaffe is procuring new Typhoon-EW jets to replace its erstwhile Tornado-ECR air defence suppression aircraft. These new jets will be equipped with escort jamming pods.Meanwhile, the European Union is advancing its Airborne Electronic Attack initiative, one of the European Defence Agency’s Permanent Structured Cooperation programmes. It would not be surprising if the German government selects a podded version of the jamming technology developed via the AEA programme.
