FreeScopes ECCM I

FreeScopes ECCM I, formerly FreeScopes Disturbance Filtering & Analysis I, introduces trainees to the detection and analysis of radar disturbances and deception effects. Students work with controlled jamming and range-deception scenarios and build their own FreeScopes processing chains to identify, compare and mitigate their impact on radar data.

In shared classroom exercises, the disturbance scenario is normally configured centrally by the instructor or administrator, while each trainee independently applies ECCM analysis and processing in their own FreeScopes workspace.

Designed for military radar academies, ATSEP training, universities and radar-engineering laboratories using supported radar, simulator or replayed datasets.

Training Advantages

  • Recognise Radar Disturbances — Learn how jamming and deception alter radar signals and displays.
  • Detect Noise Jamming — Study barrage and sector jamming effects with dedicated detection methods.
  • Analyse Range Deception — Identify false or displaced range information in controlled training scenarios.
  • Study RGPO — Observe how Range Gate Pull-Off develops and how it can be detected.
  • Build Individual ECCM Chains — Apply analysis and filtering blocks independently within FreeScopes.
  • Compare Before and After Processing — Evaluate disturbed radar data against different mitigation approaches.

From Radar Disturbance to ECCM Analysis

FreeScopes ECCM I follows a practical training chain: controlled disturbance → radar effect → detection → analysis → filtering or mitigation → comparison. Trainees first examine what a disturbance changes in the radar data, then select and compare suitable processing methods.

In the standard shared-classroom setup, the instructor or administrator normally configures the ECM scenario centrally. Students receive the same live, simulated, recorded or replayed scenario stream and independently build their own ECCM processing chains in FreeScopes.

What Trainees Do

  • Compare undisturbed and disturbed radar data
  • Identify barrage- and sector-jamming effects
  • Detect static range deception and observe RGPO behaviour
  • Use phase-shift information where applicable
  • Compare MTI, Clutter Map and MTD enhanced disturbance filtering
  • Apply Kalman and Doppler Phase Shift enhanced disturbance filters
  • Compare alternative ECCM processing chains
  • Analyse plots and tracks under disturbed conditions

Where It Fits

Radar & DSP Foundation → ATC / Detection Processing → ECCM I → ECCM II

ECCM I introduces disturbance detection and analysis after the radar and surveillance-processing foundation. ECCM II continues with advanced deception-analysis topics including SASP, AGPO and VGPO detection.

Prerequisites

  • FreeScopes environment
  • A supported radar, SkySim Radar Simulator or approved recorded/replayed dataset
  • SkySim ECCM I for simulator-generated disturbance scenarios where included
  • NextGen 8 GHz radar and compatible Active Target for relevant live RGPO exercises where included

Not every scenario is available from every data source. Delivered exercises depend on the selected radar, simulator, replay data and licensed extensions.

Who It Is For

  • Military radar academies and defence-oriented technical training centres
  • ATSEP instructors and civil surveillance engineering programmes
  • Universities and applied radar programmes
  • Radar, signal-processing and electronic-warfare research laboratories

Learning Outcomes

After completing the module, trainees can explain how jamming and range deception affect radar data; distinguish barrage, sector, static deception and RGPO-oriented effects; assemble first-level ECCM detection and filtering chains; compare MTI, Clutter Map, MTD, Kalman and Doppler Phase Shift approaches; and interpret processed plots and tracks under controlled disturbance conditions.
