Navy’s NEMESIS pushes electronic warfare to a new level

A program quietly developed by the U.S. Navy has the potential to overwhelm enemy sensor networks during combat.

It’s the opposite of stealth — there’s no need to hide if you can make it impossible for the enemy to distinguish between fake and real targets.

The system is called NEMESIS — Netted Emulation of Multi-Element Signature against Integrated Sensors. According to thedrive.com, the Navy has been developing the system for years. Budget documents hint that the system might be operational soon, and it could change the way wars are fought.

Phantom fleets of aircraft, ships and submarines deployed through false signatures and decoys could appear on enemy sensors using any or all of these:

  • unmanned vehicles
  • systems aboard ships and submarines
  • countermeasures
  • electronic warfare payloads
  • communication technologies
It’s a leap far beyond jamming enemy radar.

Has this technology played any role in UFO tracking and sightings recently? Mysterious Universe poses the question and speculates that even the “Tic Tac” UFO could have been the Navy testing technology against its own troops.

There have been rumors about these types technologies for years, including stories about their use in the Gulf War. Such rumors figure significantly in the "Project Blue Beam" conspiracy theories that were all the rage a few years back.
Well, to quote an old song, "Here it comes again..."
 
I’m confused about how this works. Duke can you dumb this down for me?

I can tell you what I get from it, which is about as dumb as it gets.

These "objects" were observed three different ways....visually by aircrew, on radar, and on FLIR (infrared) targeting systems. What the article is implying, at least from my perspective, is the "objects" were never physically there, they were (for lack of a better word) projected to be "seen" by those three different media.

Showing false radar images, or "spoofing," is nothing new. It was done very low tech in WWII, and has grown in sophistication ever since. This is part of what's known as electronic warfare. Not much doubt in my mind technology exists to project radar images to the extent described in these sightings. Electrons (and EEs) can be very devious.

To make someone visually see something that isn't there would be more challenging, although we know such things have been done to a degree with holograms and similar technology. Does the technology exist to make aircrew believe they saw what they claimed to have seen? I don't know, but as I said before there have been rumors of technology having been used to project images on a smaller scale to Iraqi forces in Desert Storm. So as far as spoofing someone's Mark 1 eyeball, I would say, maybe.

It's the ability to spoof a FLIR and have it record what it's "seeing" I'm doubtful of. The use of infrared sensing and targeting systems has been around since the 50s, but were abandoned when radar became sophisticated (and small) enough to operate effectively in aircraft. Then in the 80s when stealth technology came along, various nations started looking again to IR as a target acquisition system. So knowing peer/near peer enemies are using IR, it would make tactical sense to come up with a way to spoof it as well. Admittedly I'm way out of my element here, but this seems to be a multi-faceted engineering problem faced with a significant number of variables. Whether it's doable with current technology I don't know.

If they can do all three, and basically misdirect enemies to waste munitions firing at non-physical targets they THINK they see in the various target acquisition media, that is a force multiplier of unlimited potential.

Thank you Duke. I have a much better understanding now. It is a lot to grasp but I get the idea. You did better explaining than the reporter.
