If the US is developing this as an offensive weapon, they have to be thinking of how they would defend against such tactics. Anyone know? Or does the US just trust their radar to be more advanced to correctly identify any decoy?
- madeuptempacct 8y agoFirst of all, this doesn't apply to the US in the way that it applies to other countries. The US has over-whelming air superiority. It's biggest concern are Brahmos II missiles taking out one of its 9 carrier battle groups. The way the US handles this threat is having an AWACS plane on each carrier providing over-the-horizon radar coverage and being able to guide its hypersonic anti-missile missiles to the approaching missiles in time. That, or getting its F/A-18Es in the air off of the carrier to intercept any incoming aircraft (not really a thing anymore).
- ortusdux 8y agoI've read a few articles about the use of cell networks as distributed radar systems. One article I read postulated that such a network would defeat most modern stealth radar techniques. I know NASA is investigating using towers to track drones. https://gizmodo.com/nasa-wants-to-track-drones-using-cell-towers-1708943361 https://gizmodo.com/nasa-wants-to-track-drones-using-cell-to...
