Patent ID: 6933877

Claim:
A jamming system for jamming an enemy radar associated with a pre-selected target, said jamming system being resident on an air-borne weapon having a radio frequency seeker, and comprising: a guidance computer for controlling the pattern of radio frequency emission of said seeker, said pattern comprising an alternating sequence of emitting and listening, said computer further maintaining said seeker's line-of-sight to said target and said associated enemy radar; a means for detecting the presence of said enemy radar; a means for generating jamming signals; a means for transmitting said jamming signals; and a jammer controller coupled to receive said line-of-sight information and said seeker emission pattern from said computer, said jammer controller being further coupled concurrently to said detecting means, said generating means and said transmitting means, said controller, in response to said detecting means, causing said jamming signals to be transmitted from said transmitting means toward said enemy radar, said controller synchronizing the radiation of said jamming signals with said emission pattern of said seeker so as to achieve disablement of said enemy radar while offering no interference with said emission pattern of said seeker.
