Abstract

Abstract: Among the various techniques of electronic warfare in the sea, Chaff is very particular
due to its easy  application, low-cost manufacturing  and its impact on  the victim radar.  Despite
the  fact  that  the  use  of  Chaff  is  dated  back  to  the  1940s,  the significant  research  has  not  been
published  on  its  recognition.  It  is  difficult  to  study  the  behavior  of  Chaff  because  of  the
impossibility  of  Chaff  tests  in  an  unechoic  chamber.  Therefore,  the  simulation  would  be  a
suitable alternative for the study of its behavior. In this paper, the simulation of various features
of the target and Chaff are presented in a multi-dimensional space whose features are dependent
together. This multi-dimensional space is used to propose a processing structure, based on train
and test of the various classifiers, for discrimination between Chaff and the target. Moreover, the
comparison  between  discrimination  capability  of  various  classifiers  using  simulated  and  real
data is carried out and the suitable classifier is concluded for sea applications.
