Denial jamming technique development against pulse-doppler radars using genetic algorithms

Modern radar jammers offer great flexibility in programming jamming techniques. While this results in opportunities for producing more efficient jamming techniques, it also poses a challenge in terms of technique optimization. The increased flexibility results in a vast solution space of potential techniques. In this paper we demonstrate the applicability of using genetic algorithms for developing jamming techniques for advanced digital RF memory jammers against pulse-Doppler radars employing constant false alarm rate detection algorithms. Results against different types of radar processing and target dynamics are obtained through simulations and tested empirically in a lab-based radar-jammer experiment.
