Abstract

This handbook provides guidelines for incorporating electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) into United States Naval radar systems during the system acquisition process. The handbook should be useful to project or acquisition directors and other participants in the acquisition process, particularly cognizant managers in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), the Naval Systems Commands (SYSCOM), the Naval Intelligence Center (NIC), the Naval Security Group (NSG), and personnel in the design, development and production agencies. Because of the gravity of the Soviet threat facing the fleet and the Navy's critical need for command and control in performing its various missions, managers must understand the importance of measures necessary to ensure the viability of radar systems. This is the purpose for incorporating ECCM into the design of radar systems. Without ECCM, a radar system will not be capable of fulfilling its military (combat) mission in the presence of a determined threat.
