Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting electronic counter measure (ECM) signals and embedding covert messages in radar or sonar signals. In one aspect, a method for detecting ECM signals includes receiving a radar return signal from an object. The method includes determining whether radar return signal includes a TM signal, and identifying the radar return signal as a skin return signal or an electronic counter measure signal based on whether the radar return signal includes the TM signal.
