ESM (Electronic Support Measures)

1. Conceptual Intuition (L1)

  • Passive Listening ("Fox Hunting").
  • Direction Finding (Where is it coming from?).
  • Identifying the threat (Is it a SAM or an Airport Radar?).

2. Engineering Math (L2)

  • Angle of Arrival (AOA) interferometry.
  • Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) geometry.
  • The "Ellipse of Uncertainty".

3. System Application (L3)

  • Pulse Descriptor Words (PDWs).
  • Deinterleaving pulse trains.
  • Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) using "fingerprints".

Interactive Component: TDOA Geometry Solver

  • Description: Triangulate a signal source.
  • Controls: Number of Sensors, Timing Error, Baseline.
