The invention generally relates to the field of
computer software particularly to an
improved method of providing
aircrew decision aids for use in determining the optimum placement of an
Electronic Attack (EA) aircraft. The core of the invention is a
software program that will dynamically provide the EA flight
crew situational awareness regarding a
threat emitter's coverage relative to the position of the EA aircraft and to the position of any number of protected entities (PE). The
software program generates information to provide visual cues representing a Jam Acceptability Region (
JAR) contour, a Jam Assessment Strobe (JAS) and text for display on a number of flexibly configurable display formats posted on display units. The
JAR and JAS
graphics and text will aid the EA
aircrew in rapidly assessing the effectiveness of a given jamming approach. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the
