      amplified.....:)

        that assumes that the your identified source of emission is also a real one..... - let alone fleet or fleet asset based

          We-ll, maybe.

          This isn't electronic warfare, but on the subject of a "big wave", take a look at what might cause Rogue Waves. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave

          In any event, I think the best thing to say is that if one wants to learn about EW, go to the library and read up on it. I don't think I've done, actively, EW for close to a quarter of a century, so anything I know that they would cut my tongue out for saying has probably long since passed. But I still hear and read things here and there, probably not secret, but with my background, I could probably fill in the gaps that makes it the kind of stuff others wished the world did not know.

          So when people get talking about this stuff on an open Net, I'd like to get into the talk, I find this stuff fascinating about what might be done with it. But then I remember that maybe it is not such a great idea to get into the talk and I just shake my head at what is being said. Not because it is being said, mind you, but because I can't add to it.

          But let's put it this way. Remember the movie Wargames? In the small scene after the General sends up fighters over Alaska to investigate Soviet air contacts? His Aide comes in with something like, "Intelligence reports that the Soviets can generate false radar images 200 miles from the source."

          And the General says, "Christ! Now they have us chasing ghosts."

          Like producing holograms with intersecting laser beams, I can see how doing things like that in this day and age might be possible.

            You beat me to it. With today's technology you can be sent on a wild goose chase, only to find your whole house burnt down by the time you come back.

              Stuff like phased array optics, beam focussing, etc...

              • Five US CVN's so far have been fitted with anti torpedo torpedoes.
