I don't have the magazine in front of me now but they were also talking about projecting contrived images, IIRC, presumably onto radar screens or the modern equivalent.

I think Clancy put something like that in one of his books.

The creation of 'false (RADAR) returns' is an already well-known 'trick' ...

>>>....projecting contrived images, IIRC, presumably onto radar screens or the modern equivalent.<<<

I have VietNam era F-4 (Navy Phantom) pilot friend that tells of flying in the same space with an EA-6B (or maybe it was an E-2 Hawkeye?) and they were joking about cababilities.

The 6B jock asked my friend his call sign....and immediately his radar screen went blank as his callsign was spelled out on its face.
