Generic model of aircraft susceptibility to radar under conditions of electronic counter measures

The key to success in modern war lies in establishing air superiority at the early stage of the war [1], [2]. To achieve this goal, a combat aircraft should have a high degree of survivability in a human-made hostile environment. The aircraft survivability is defined as the capability of an aircraft to avoid or withstand the man-made hostile environment [3]. Furthermore, the inability of the aircraft to avoid the hostile environment is referred to as the susceptibility of the aircraft and the inability of the aircraft to withstand the hostile environment is referred to as the vulnerability of the aircraft [3].
