 White Paper

# One Threat Down. What Comes Next?

The whitepaper **“The Impact of Decoy Caliber on Naval Defense Effectiveness”** uses physics-based simulations to compare small- and large-caliber radio-frequency decoys protecting a frigate-sized vessel against streaming and saturation attacks involving three to five anti-ship missiles.

Download the whitepaper to explore:

- How small- and large-caliber RF decoys perform in coordinated missile-attack scenarios
- How intelligent decoy placement and launcher capacity affect protection against follow-on threats
- How a ship’s radar cross section influences the decoy performance required to protect it
- How decoy placement, blooming time, and electromagnetic signature affect RF seduction
- Why the choice of decoy caliber should be considered a question of survivability
