![]() You are approaching to the problem from the opposite direction,to solve the problems you described correctly you have to install receiver/processor unit of multistatic system inside every SAM,which is currently technologically and more importantly financially not feasible. But solution is very cheap,though not so excellent like turning SAM missiles into multistatic processors. 1)Multi statics can track stealth platform at extremely long ranges. 2)Stealth platforms designed to reduce backscatter.They reduce backscatter significantly but total elimination of bacscatter is not possible.(Thats the reason why a particular backscatter radar detects conventional aircraft at 100 m but identical sized stealth aircraft only at 5 or 10 miles) If your radar receiver comes close enough to stealth target (or target comes close to bacscatter receiver) at some point backscatterer receiver will start receiving backscatterers from target. So, 1)You are tracking your target precisely using multistatics (You might not even need very precise tracking using multistatics (expensive),If you use the methods used by Serbians,you can detect stealth ,but you cannot track it.(your SAM crews must be lighting fast) 2)If you want to use an semi active system ,turn on guidance radar and aim it according to multistatic radar tracking data. (or if you use serbian style interconnected bacscatterers to the latest known position position ) Do you know what "semiactive" is/means? 3)Fire missiles guide them to target by command guidance Command guidance? I'll bet a HARM would just LOVE that. ,as missile nears to the target missiles own backscatter receiver will be able to receive backscatter signals (not forward scatterers used by multistatics) from its own guidance radar. An active radar seeker on a AAM likely wouldn't work very well against stealh. You'd be better off with an IIR seeker. If you can use an active homer skip step2 and use missiles active seeker as terminal guidance only. A high frequency radar against a stealth aircraft? |
