LEXINGTON MA US

Abstract

A method of interdicting a guided missile equipped with an active radar-controlled guidance system is shown to include generating decoy signals in a transponder on an decoy launched from a ship being attacked, such decoy signals being formed by amplifying echo signals from the ship to cause the apparent position of the ship (as measured by the active radar-controlled guidance system) to differ from the actual position of the ship so that the guided missile ultimately is caused to miss the ship.
