Biscotti would like to ask if Tanzania as a fellow left-wing country would have a a suitable aircraft to fill our gap in the heavy bomber role. Biscotti would of course pay for such a stretegic bomber force and we would like to buy as many as possible.

Underground Nuclear Test measuring 150 Kilotons is recorded as tests for a potential tactical nuclear device are under way. The shaft partially caves in but the top seal holds preventing radiation from reaching the surface. Some dust does however breaks through in places which causes low radiation levels. More research would be made to find ways to lower the radioactive fallout.

[b]Morogoro Top Secret Military Facility[/b]

A new project was under way, the aim was to build a Radar that was harder to disrupt, plus also with Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar Systems, was to prevent it from being hacked.

[u]The first findings were:[/u]

The need for high-resolution radar imagery and accurate
target identification is in high demand. Both of these
applications require high bandwidth radar waveforms to
provide the sensor with required range resolution. As
technology improves to allow increasing bandwidths,
electronic counter-countermeasure (ECCM) technology
must also follow to allow such sensors to function in
hostile jamming environments. Adaptive beamforming
(ABF) algorithms can counter jamming threats by greatly
attenuating power from the jammers’ directions. By
effectively eliminating power from jamming, while still
maintaining gain at the aimpoint, the radar is able to
spatially focus its aperture and maintain functionality.
Historically, radars have employed narrowband ABF
technology, which appropriately nulls jamming
interference for a specific frequency. However, as
bandwidths increase, the narrowband assumption becomes
invalid as wideband jammers will appear to spread in
angle. This spreading allows the jammers to deny greater
area to the sensor, limiting the sensor’s usefulness, and is
inherent with narrowband phase-based steering.


The derivative based
updating (DBU) adaptive beamforming (ABF) algorithm has several key advantages
over Sub band ABF (SABF):
• Wideband beams vary smoothly over frequency
reducing signal distortion
• Narrower jammer extents to minimize area denied by
jamming
• Natural wideband modeling without forcing a
narrowband solution to be wideband
• More accurate covariance modeling with more
available training samples
• Works naturally with stretch processing for high
bandwidth operation
A variety of features are discussed in detail, such as
wideband beamforming, tapering and colored noise
loading for sidelobe suppression, and white noise gain
constraints for adaptive beam control.

This project would be made a top priority.


Also, more research was to be made on the C-20 Buzzsaw Supersonic Cruise Missiles with plans to make Hypersonic variants.

The explosion rips through the testing laboratory as the experimental Rail Gun fires and literally explodes turning its parts into flying red hot metal. The metal hits the blastproof partition at high speed. The failure signals the end of the Tanzania Rail Gun Project. With its failure, the Space Project which had been under way to get a habitat station orbiting the earth was now funded with the left over cash which was now being activated.


Operation Tanzanian Tiger was soon to begin in Lindi Province as the Tanzania Federation Military routine exercise involving all branches of the Tanzania Military. This would be the first of its kind and would be centred in the Kilwa area.

Further research on a Jamming Proof Radar System


[u]2.1 Constant PRI Pulse-Doppler Radar [/u]

Pulse-Doppler radars usually coherently process batches or bursts of
pulses with constant pulse repetition interval (PRI). The radar takes complex samples of the received signals at a rate consistent with one complex sample per range resolution
cell. This signal vector is folded at the PRI rate to position all samples from the same range in the same column. After folding, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) is applied to each range column to separate signal components with different Doppler frequency offset. A radar range-Doppler (RD) matrix of amplitudes then results from one coherent processing interval. Thermal noise in the radar RD matrix can be modeled as white noise given by A N i j ,= (0,σ ) is amplitude for pixel i,j in radar RD matrix given by a normal noise statistics with mean 0 and standard deviation σ. The energy deposited in the radar RD matrix is the sum of all squared RD cells.

[u]2.2 Radar CFAR Processing[/u]

Modern radars typically use CFAR processing to declare
detections in the radar RD matrix. CFAR calculates the ratio of the amplitude in a cell under test (CUT) relative to a local background. There are also radars using one-dimensional CFAR,
range only frame or Doppler only frame. The local background level can be calculated in a number of ways. Computing the mean amplitude in a number of neighboring RD cells is the most common. This version of CFAR is called cell averaging CFAR or CA-CFAR and is used throughout this paper. Typically there are guard gates adjacent to the CUT to avoid leakage from the CUT
contributing to the local background, which might reduce sensitivity to targets straddling the resolution cells. This calculation is done for all RD cells and results in a new radar RD CFAR ratio matrix, which is usually thresholded to produce a CFAR detection matrix.

[u]2.3 Advanced DRFM Jammer[/u]

An advanced DRFM based radar jammer stores a copy of each radar pulse and uses it as the basis signal for the jamming signal. The stored radar signal can be delayed, amplitude modulated and its frequency can be changed. These modifications are done to produce a false target with parameters different from the real target being protected by the jammer. A fundamental limitation in standard DRFMs is that at a given time instant only one set of modulation parameters can be applied, i.e. single delay, amplitude and Doppler. The advanced DRFM jammer can produce multiple simultaneous overlapping jamming pulses with individual modulation parameters through an additional modulator. This type of DRFM jammer has been described in the context of countermeasures to imaging radars. The effect of the advanced DRFM jammer on a pulse-Doppler radar can be modeled by generating a separate complex RD matrix resulting from the jamming and adding it to the radar RD matrix. This assumes the jammer can produce its RD matrix synchronized with the radar matrix, with the same resolution in both directions. The jammer matrix is coded as a chromosome of dimension 32×m×n bits, where m is the number of range cells and n is the number of Doppler cells in the jammer signal. Each Ai,j amplitude RD cell in the jammer matrix has fixed chromosome position when converting from genotype to phenotype.

[u]3. JAMMER OBJECTIVES [/u]
The main objective of self-protection jamming is to deny radar detection of the target in a real environment without producing new detections on the jamming signal. In addition the jamming signal should not trigger warning functions in the radar. Moreover, this should be done robustly at 'minimum cost' to the jammer.
Hence, the jamming should:

1. Suppress target detection and not produce new detections in a
realistic noisy environment with dynamic target RCS using
lowest possible transmitting power,
2. Be robust against a broad range of radar CFAR detection
algorithms, i.e. multi-resistant jamming,
3. Be robust against variations in radar and jammer parameters.
4. SINGLE-RESISTANT JAMMING

In this section the first and primary objective of the jammer objective list is addressed. Known radar CFAR detection algorithm is assumed. For every generation in the GA each individual, which represents a particular jamming technique, produces a corresponding radar RD CFAR ratio matrix, forming the basis for the fitness evaluation. In this case fitness is set to Rmax, which is the maximum value of the radar CFAR ratio matrix.

The target is always in the centre of the radar RD matrix and the jamming matrix is centered on the target. The jamming matrix is smaller than the radar RD matrix leaving the outermost cells of the radar RD matrix unaffected by the jamming signal matrix. Target amplitude is 100 unless otherwise stated.

The first prototype radar using these new findings is now under construction.

Chemical Warfare Programme is discontinued after the Tanzania Federation Military High Command decides that it is not militarily viable. The stockpile of Diphosgene at the Mtwara Storage and Disposal Facility is to be destroyed. The test subjects assigned to the programme would be reassigned to the Nuclear Weapons Programme and made available for future tests. Mtwara Storage and Disposal Facility however would be kept open to store conventional munition stockpiles.
