1. An automatic RF countermeasures dispensing module comprising:

  • (a) automatic countermeasures control means having an aircraft survivability system state input, a missile approach event input, an RF countermeasures command output, a control signal output, a cross-sensor data correlation input and a countermeasures count monitor input;

    (b) radar warning receiver pre-data correlation means having a control signal input operatively connected to the control signal output of said automatic countermeasures control means and a radar warning receiver track file input, said radar warning receiver pre-data correlation means providing an active RF region output;

    (c) pulsed radar jammer pre-data correlation means having a pulsed radar jammer control input operatively connected to the control signal output of said automatic countermeasures control means and a pulsed radar jammer track file input, said pulsed radar jammer pre-data correlation means having active RF region output;

    (d) RF countermeasures count monitor means having an RF count monitor control signal input operatively connected to the control signal output of said automatic countermeasures control means and a manual RF countermeasures command count input, said RF countermeasures count monitor means providing an RF countermeasures count output;

    (e) cross sensor data correlation means having an active RF region input operatively connected to the active RF region output of said radar warning receiver pre-data correlation means, an active RF region input connected to said output of said pulsed radar jammer pre-data correlation means, a missile approach detector track file input, and a cross sensor data correlation control input operatively connected to the control signal output of said automatic countermeasures control means, said cross sensor data correlation means providing cross sensor data correlation with said RF active region output of said radar warning receiver pre-data correlation means and said active RF region output of said pulsed radar jammer pre-data correlation means and with said missile approach detector track file input means, said cross sensor data correlation means outputting to said correlated data input of said automatic countermeasures control means;

    (f) symbol and message generator means having a control signal input operatively connected to the control signal output of said automatic countermeasures control means and operatively connected to said cross sensor data correlation means, said symbol and message generator means providing a threat display data output and a voice message output; and

    (g) voice processor means operatively connected to said voice message output and display processor means for displaying threat data operatively connected to said threat display data output and said RF countermeasures count output.
