The invention generally relates to the field of computer software
particularly to an improved method of providing aircrew decision aids for
use in determining the optimum placement of an Electronic Attack (EA)
aircraft. The core of the invention is a software program that will
dynamically provide the EA flight crew situational awareness regarding a
threat emitter's coverage relative to the position of the EA aircraft and
to the position of protected entities (PE). The software program
generates information to provide visual cues representing a Jam
Acceptability Region (JAR) contour and a Jam Assessment Strobe (JAS) for
display via designated aircraft cockpit processors and devices. The JAR
and JAS will aid the EA aircrew in assessing the effectiveness of a given
jamming approach.
