Abstract

In present war scenario, any combat vehicle is vulnerable to missile attack. In these situations it becomes essential for a combat vehicle to identify these threats before they incur loss to these vehicles. Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), Laser Warning Receiver (LWR) and Missile Approach Warning Receiver (MAWS) are used to search and track the missile. The threat from the Radar Guided Missile can be countered by using RF Jammer which uses Chaff, the threat from the IR Guided Missile can be countered by using IR Jammer which uses IR Flares and the threat from the Laser Guided Missile can be countered by using Laser Jammer which uses highly reflective surface to counter the missile attack.The latest trend in Electronic Warfare (EW) System is towards integration i.e. having all the warning systems and corresponding countermeasures in the same package. The realities, then of the threat environment, the mission requirement, the doctrines and acquisition philosophy paves way for the development of EW Suite, which will soon become a necessity for all combat vehicles.
