An EW asset is detachably carried by the projectile round. A deployable parachute is attached to the EW asset, wherein the EW asset is configured to be suspended from the parachute when the EW asset is detached from the projectile round. The related method is used for suppression or obscuration of enemy counterfire radar (CFR) system by initiating an EW effect by the EW asset as the EW asset floats towards a ground surface.
