Technical Fundamentals / EW Flashcards
Frequency
Cycles in a sec
Wavelength
Length of one cycle
Ducting
Energy trapped between air corridors
5 modulation types
USB , LSB, CW, AM, FM
USB
Upper side band
Lsb
Lower side band
Cw
Continuous wave
Am
Amplitude modulation
Fm
Frequency modulation
PRI
pulse repetition interval
Air search radar
Searches for air contacts
Surface search radar
Searches for surface contacts
Fire control radar
Provides guidance for weapon systems
Ew
Electronic warfare
Purpose of EW
Anti ship missile defense
3 subsets of EW
Es, Ep, EA
Es
Electronic support
Ep
Electronic protect
EA
Electronic attack
SONAR
Sound navigation and raging
Hultec
Hull to emitter correlation
UMOP
Unintentional modulation on pulse
IR

Purpose of EMCon
Selectively manage own force emission
Advantage of EMCon
Hide from ES System
Disadvantage of EMCon
Loss of own ships sensors
SS
Surface search
TT
Target tracking
TA
Target acquisition
MG
Missile guidance
MF
Multi function
FC
