Abstract:

As a basic description approach of electromagnetic environment (EME), EME classification is regarded as the foundation to understand it. Accordingly, the constitution of a practical description approach of EME could be an event of significance for weapon development and army training. A description approach of EME based on the combat efficacy of weapon systems (CEWS) is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional EME classification methods. This novel approach could reveal the EME recognized by weapon itself under the classification on the basis of CEWS degrading. The definition and meaning of battlefield EME is analyzed first, the novel EME classification approach based on CEWS changing is then introduced, and a representative scenario is elaborated in comparison with conventional methods. Simulation shows that this novel method can adequately reveal the relativity and controllability of EME.
