A countermeasure system for jamming an attack unit is provided. The attack unit receives an infrared carrier signal for detection of a target under attack and is vulnerable to countermeasures from another infrared carrier signal modulated by a predetermined modulating signal. The countermeasure system includes a radio frequency source for generating a radio frequency carrier signal, a modulator for modulating the radio frequency carrier signal using the predetermined modulating signal, and a antenna for transmitting the modulated radio frequency signal towards the attack unit.

Apparatus for jamming infrared attack unit using a modulated radio frequency carrier

A detector facilitates visualization of electromagnetic radiation, including radio frequency radiation. The electromagnetic radiation is converted to thermal energy by partial absorption of the radiation, and is made visually observable by coupling the pattern of thermal energy to a thermally-responsive imaging surface, such as a liquid crystal display.
