Abstract
A defense system wherein a radar intercepts and follows a target and includes an antenna array and a low level source of microwave energy for exciting the elements of the array to produce radar returns and define the path. A microwave storage reservoir is supplied upon demand with high energy microwave energy and is coupled to microwave feed channels leading to the elements of the antenna array. Microwave dump switches at the juncture of the channels and the reservoir control flow of energy from the reservoir. Control means responsive at least in part to the presence of returns periodically actuate the dump switches for flow of microwave energy from the reservoir to the target via the antenna array.
