Networking of Tracking Radars of Two Different SAM Weapons to Protect the Missile in Intensive Jamming Environment
Many countries including India use the Russian made SAM-3 (Pechora) surface-to-air missile (SAM) weapon systems to protect their strategic and tactical infrastructure. The mathematical computations done in this paper, conclusively proves that SA-125 low-blow tracking radar of Pechora is vulnerable t...
