Electronic Warfare: Range Gate Pull Off - Kalman-based Countermeasures in FreeScopes (Video)

The Enhanced Kalman Disturbance Filter is a feature developed by SkyRadar. It is part of its training radar system, designed to detect and handle range deception data using the Kalman Filter and the most recent RGPO detection features. This block includes several sub-functions, each serving a specific purpose in the processing of incoming radar reflections to identify and manage potential range deceived targets.
