Abstract
A method of selecting and optimizing a countermeasure for application against a novel, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes selecting a candidate countermeasure and an initial parameter set and varying at least one of the parameters while the effectiveness of the candidate countermeasure against the radar threat is assessed, for example by a human observer. Embodiments include repeating the process with additional candidate countermeasures. For an unresponsive radar threat, a previously effective countermeasure can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. For an ambiguous radar threat, at least one countermeasure previously verified as effective against a partially matching known threat can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. Correlated parameters can be simultaneously varied. An optimization surface and trajectory formed by a plurality of correlated parameters can be identified by machine intelligence, used to guide the parameter variations, and/or stored for use against the same or similar threats in the future.
