Postol Professor of Science, Technology, and National Security Policy Security Studies Program, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Voice: ; FAX: ; Distribution and Use of this Document is Encouraged and Unrestricted Comments and Further Information Are Welcome

2 How Ghosting (False Ballistic Missile Targets) Can Occur When Two Similar Radars in the Same Operating Mode Track a Single Target Ghost Target generated by pulse that reflects off aircraft from a second radar at a slightly different time than the pulse from the first radar. Depending on the time-differences between pulses, the pulse from the second radar can create a false downrange target for the first radar. When this is done as an intentional electronic countermeasure, its effects are somewhat similar to that of a repeater jammer. dl=c dt + dr Note: Relative Distances are Not to Scale dl/2 Note: Relative Distances are Not to Scale

3 Ghost Targets Can Appear to be on Ballistic Missile Trajectories for Certain Aircraft Altitudes and Distances Between Radars Ghost Target identified as a ballistic missile due to its apparent altitude, speed, and rate of descent, which closely match that of a ballistic missile Note: Relative Distances are Not to Scale dl/2 dl=c dt + dr Note: Relative Distances are Not to Scale

4 Estimated Locations of Patriot Batteries Cruise Missiles at ft Aircraft at 15,000 ft Aircraft at 30,000 ft Ranges at Which Patriot Batteries Can Illuminate Aircraft Flying at Different Altitudes Note: Radar Range Contours Assume that Patriot Batteries Can Search No Closer Than 3 Degrees from Local Horizontal Even With Horizon Diffraction.

5 Example of Overlapping Region Between Two Radars Where One of the Radars Could Create False Ballistic Missile Targets for the Other

6 Example of Aircraft-Generated False Al Samoud / Al Fatah Trajectory from Two Similar Tracking Radars in the Same Operating Mode Location of Missiles and Aircraft Shown at 5 Second Intervals Altitude (km) Al Fatah / Al-Samoud Short-Range Ballistic Missile Frog Ballistic Missile Mach 0.85 Airplane seconds Ground Range (km) Ghost Targets? Altitude, Speed, and Descent Rate of Ghost Target Generated from 0.1 Millisecond Time-Delay Between Arrival of a Second Pulse from a Second Nearby Operating Radar Trajectory Seen by Radar Radar for 25 seconds

7 Ballistic Missile and Aircraft Trajectories Expected by Patriot s Artificial Intelligence Software in Operation Iraqi Freedom Al Husayn Scud Location of Missiles and Aircraft Shown at 5 Second Intervals Altitude (km) Al Fatah / Al-Samoud Short-Range Ballistic Missile Mach 2.5 Airplane Frog Ballistic Missile 10 Mach 0.85 Airplane Mach 0.85 Cruise Missile Ground Range (km)

Initiate the PA Sys & Conference Bridge Alert SCUD alert Impact ellipse appears Areas at risk announced PAWS, Conference Bridge & CFLCC Cmd Net (SATCOM) Pager goes off 1 Minute ~ 3-4 min 2 Minutes ~ 3-4 min Actual total warning Seconds Launch to Impact AL SAMOUD / ABABIL-100 Launch = Time saved by announcing Kuwait at risk - not waiting for estimated impact ellipse ~40 Sec to clear horizon & to JDN ~ 20 to get best track ~ 40 Sec to assess& warn (PAWS & Conf Bridge) 1st indication of launch at CFLCC HQ. Initiate the PA Sys & Conference Bridge Alert SCUD alert ~ 30 Sec for pager alert Areas at risk announced PAWS, Conf Bridge & CFLCC Cmd Net Time for MSCs & Base Clusters to go through Battle Drills Impact Pager ~ 1:00 min goes or off ~ 2:00 min (warning time once EW gets to the MSC/Base)
