Abstract:
A countermeasure method and apparatus for use by two mutually cooperating aircraft against a radar-homing anti-aircraft missile, and including the steps of transferring doppler shifted radar signals received at a respective one to the other of the two mutually cooperating aircraft, and retransmitting the transferred radar signals toward the homing missile, thus simulating a target having the doppler characteristics of each of the two aircraft and further having a centroid located between the two aircraft.
