2. Signals Intelligence
Military intelligence typically involves the following sources:
human intelligence (HUMINT) image intelligence (IMINT) photographic intelligence (PHOTINT) signals intelligence (SIGINT)
The LANTIRN or the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared with Night vision project
jammer power antenna gain transmitter bandwidth barrage jamming swept-spot jamming multiple-spot jamming
The range of the radar return is a function of 1/R4, whereas the range of the jamming signal is a function 1/R2.
Self-screening mode is provided by on-board jammer(s) as protection suites. These systems are generally highly integrated into the mission suite. Escort and stand-off mode is provided by support aircraft, with standoff aircraft usually operating outside harms way. These systems are generally stand-alone and often more powerful and capable than selfscreen ones.
5. Defensive Aids
When operating in a hostile environment an aircraft must be equipped with appropriate self-defence measures.
In Canada these are collectively referred a defensive electronic warfare (DEW) suite
