Every jammer was otherwise tested in the same manner to keep a level playing field and all the results, good and bad, are all shared here based on how the jammers performed. No laser jammer manufacturer was present on site, but most were available over the phone or email for support as needed. All the heads were aligned as best as possible according to the manufacturer’s recommended specifications. All the jammers were installed as close as possible to the manufacturer’s recommended areas, though sometimes very slight adjustments were made for the sake of realworld practicality. (The center Stinger fiber pair were previously in the center slot where the center K40 is located in this pic.)įull disclosure: Some of the jammers were provided from the manufacturers for free for testing (Escort, Stinger, TMG, Adaptiv), some I purchased retail (ALP, K40), and some (Escort) covered the costs for installing their jammers onto my vehicle.

Here’s a look at my grill (almost) fully loaded with jammers. I also did some comparison testing with and without custom fabricated removable perspex covers to see if they made a difference.

Owing to exorbitant costs and the absence of competition, the US government shut down the F-22 production line about a decade ago.Time to test all of the best laser jammers from AntiLaser, Escort, Stinger, TMG, Adaptiv, and K40 to find out which one performs the best! The history of the F-22 dates back to the Cold War era but by the time the first F-22 fighter was tested in 1997, the Soviet Union had disbanded. These radars can be strategically positioned on land, islands, ships and even aerial platforms, bolstering China’s denial and anti-access capabilities in the South China Sea and Western Pacific regions.

This allowed the system to focus its limited detection resources on the most exposed azimuth, or angle of arrival, of the stealth fighter, significantly enhancing the intensity and tracking accuracy of its radar signature while ensuring it is continuously locked on to the target.Įach radar therefore needs to spend only a fraction of its frequency and power on tracking stealth fighters, saving valuable resources for handling other targets.Ĭomprehensive and stable tracking of an F-22 fighter formation can be achieved with merely three radars, according to the paper.

The researchers said their “smart resource scheduling” method allowed a centralised networking radar system to adjust beam parameters and the power of each radar based on the characteristics and real-time positional changes of stealth aircraft in the theatre. Xie’s team said it had overcome this long-standing engineering challenge. Their detection method covered a vast battlefield of around 63,000 sq km (24,300 square miles), ensuring that regardless of the F-22’s manoeuvres it would remain firmly within the sight of China’s radar network, said Xie and his colleagues in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Journal of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics on February 26. The Chinese team led by Xie Junwei, from the air and missile defence college of the Air Force Engineering University in Xian, Shaanxi province, said the researchers’ method could make a stealth fighter with the same configuration as the F-22 appear on the radar screen with a signal strength comparable to that of an ordinary fighter with an RCS of over 6 square metres – an increase of 60,000 times. The US military has touted the F-22 as the world’s most formidable fighter jet, with a radar cross-section (RCS) believed to be as small as 1 sq cm (0.16 sq in) – about the size of a fingernail. Researchers from the Chinese air force say they have developed radar technology aimed at better detecting the F-22 and other stealth aircraft.
