Abstract

A radar system, including a pulse radar capable of emitting interrogating pulses and high rate antiradition missile decoys, is shown to comprise a plurality of decoys adapted to emit pulses having duty factors less than the duty factor of the interrogating pulses, but when activated successively form a changing composite covering pulse for overlapping an emitted interrogating pulse, thereby preventing an anti-radiation missile from destroying the radar system.
