Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for detecting and mitigating DRFM-based interference in SAR images are provided. Embodiments include methods and systems for detecting and removing DRFM-based interference from SAR images by exploiting multi-channel SAR data. Embodiments provide an Electronic Counter Counter Measure (ECCM) technique that is effective against, among others, SAR DRFM-based repeater jamming, false target images, noise jamming, and vector multiplier jamming for false scene generation. When used, embodiments of the present invention reduce jammer effectiveness to a small range strip (a strip parallel to the range dimension) in the direction of the jammer. In addition, jammer mitigation is performed without losing SAR image data at the affected SAR pixels. Furthermore, embodiments of are compatible with time variable ECCM techniques, including orthogonal waveforms or pulse jitter techniques, for example.
