Cooperative deception jamming against radar network using a team of UAVs

A deception jamming method is proposed, which can be used by a team of UAVs to deceive air defense radar network. To make the phantom tracks undistinguishable from the tracks of the true targets, the position geometry of radars and UAVs was studied, and the analytical expression of relationships between the motion of the UAVs and that of the phantom tracks have been derived, which can be used to precisely arrange the UAVs´ flight path and control the jammers´ jamming strategy. Mathematic analysis and simulation results show that using N UAVs can generate at most Nx(N-1) coherent false targets, which can deceive the radar network and form trajectories in the fusion centre.
