Watch SkyRadar demonstrate Range Gate Pull-Off with a real radar and active jammer. Explore physical range deception and its role in practical ECCM training.

Deception jamming does not simply hide a radar target in noise. It tries to make the radar believe something that is not true. Practical ECCM training therefore needs to show trainees how deception appears in radar data — and how it can be recognised.

Electronic-warfare education becomes more useful when the trainee can follow the complete chain: from a real radar measurement, through a controlled deceptive effect, to ECCM analysis and finally to the question of whether an AI model can recognise and interpret a disturbed radar scene.

Radar resilience is no longer defined only by hardware performance. In modern defence environments, the more important question is how well a radar system, its processing chain, and its operators can respond when the electromagnetic environment changes.

In May 2025, the multinational field exercise Hedgehog 2025 (also known as Siil 2025 in Estonia) brought together more than 16 000 personnel from 12 member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. With scenarios centered on a simulated incursion across Estonia’s eastern border, the drills were intended to test European deterrence and defense concepts under high pressure (Defence24.com, 17.02.2026).

AAE Opinion No. 18, “Collaborative Air and Space Combat Operations in Europe” calls for collaborative air and space combat structures in Europe; this article examines its implications and outlines a platform-based C4ISR response.

This article provides an overview of cognitive radar and cognitive electronic warfare, explaining adaptive sensing, decision-making, and the role of algorithms, simulation, and training.

As U.S. strategic focus shifts toward the Indo-Pacific, Europe faces rising pressure to coordinate defense autonomously; this article examines the technical role of ISR integration, MPCC, PESCO, and EDF in enabling European military action.

This blog explains why chaff clouds and radar decoys remain relevant in EW training, while a short video shows how they are configured and displayed in SkySim’s ECCM extension.
