Abstract

The idea of a method of transferring information about the SIGINT from the automated workplace of the operator of an enemy AWACS to SIGINT post is described. It is shown that the elliptical direction finding method of determining coordinates is used to implement the method. A structural diagram of a signal intelligence (SIGINT) post is proposed, on the basis of which the method is implemented. The radio reconnaissance post includes two antenna systems that create fan-type directional diagrams; two channels for receiving direct signals; one channel for receiving reflected signals; a signal processing device and a virtual all-round indicator (monitor of an automated workplace). The main tactical and technical requirements for a radio reconnaissance post, which is intended for the implementation of the specified method, are formulated. The main technical solutions for antenna systems for the radio reconnaissance post have been substantiated. Radio reconnaissance zones of the airborne radar of the AWACS aircraft have been constructed, while the SIGINT zone for channel 1 of receiving direct radar signals on the side lobes of the radar corresponds to a sensitivity of –100 dB, and the SIGINT zone for channel 2 of receiving direct radar signals on the main lobe of the radar corresponds to a sensitivity of –61.5 dB. The type of direction finding characteristic of the antenna system with two horns is given. Radio reconnaissance zones have been constructed for the situation of receiving direct and reflected signals of the airborne radar of the AWACS aircraft. The technical characteristics of the antenna system of channel 3 of receiving reflected signals are substantiated.
