They can useew a radar further away than that radar can msec RANGER. They can identify the radar type, the platform on which it is installed and the bearing from RANGER to the radar. They can determine all this without RANGER giving away her position by transmitting anything. This is called passive M '1 electronic warfare support measured KESMJ, and is a key early warning . -'iifqn indicator when Bears, or other Soviet units are in the area. r ln the event of hostilities. they will see the fire control and homing 5 ' T. T 5 radars of enemy missiles. They will warn the ship of impending attack, if in f and through 'Seleetronie deception tell the missileslthat RANGER 1 ' . is somewhere else. As the EMCON Control Center, they help RANGER maintain 'T her reputation as the best stealth carrier in the fleet by monitoring i the setting of EMCON and enforcing the directed EMCON condition. 5 ts. , ,-,':1?,f..1 i I i i ' r lr 1. r tl
