The method 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 method 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 any number of protected entities (PE). The software
program generates information to provide visual cues representing a Jam
Acceptability Region (JAR) contour, a Jam Assessment Strobe (JAS) and
text for display on a number of flexibly configurable display formats
posted on display units. The JAR and JAS graphics and text will aid the
EA aircrew in rapidly assessing the effectiveness of a given jamming
approach. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with
