Correct Answers and Explanations
Question 1
Correct Answer: C) Electronic Support (ES)
Explanation: Using passive sensors to detect enemy radio transmissions without transmitting is an Electronic Support (ES) activity, focused on intelligence gathering.
A) Electronic Attack (EA): Incorrect, as EA involves active disruption, not passive detection.
B) Electronic Protection (EP): Incorrect, as EP protects systems, not detects signals.
D) Signal Jamming: Incorrect, as jamming actively disrupts signals, not passively detects them.
Question 2
Correct Answer: B) Jamming
Explanation: Transmitting interference to disrupt drone control signals is jamming, an Electronic Attack (EA) technique.
A) Spoofing: Incorrect, as spoofing sends false signals to deceive, not disrupt.
C) Signal Amplification: Incorrect, as amplification strengthens signals, not interferes with them.
D) Frequency Hopping: Incorrect, as this is a protective measure, not an attack.
Question 3
Correct Answer: A) Deception
Explanation: Sending false radar signals to misrepresent an object’s position is a deception technique, aiming to mislead the enemy.
B) Signal Boosting: Incorrect, as boosting increases signal strength, not creates false signals.
C) Jamming: Incorrect, as jamming overwhelms radar, not mimics signals.
D) Encryption: Incorrect, as encryption secures data, not manipulates radar.
Question 4
Correct Answer: A) Low Probability of Intercept (LPI)
Explanation: Low-power transmissions reduce the chance of enemy detection, a technique known as Low Probability of Intercept (LPI).
B) Signal Jamming: Incorrect, as jamming disrupts signals, not hides them.
C) Spoofing: Incorrect, as spoofing sends false signals, not reduces detectability.
D) Frequency Modulation: Incorrect, as this adjusts signal properties, not power levels.
Question 5
Correct Answer: B) Flare
Explanation: Flares are used to confuse infrared-guided missiles by emitting heat signatures, a common countermeasure.
A) Chaff: Incorrect, as chaff counters radar-guided threats, not infrared.
C) Jamming: Incorrect, as jamming uses electronic signals, not physical decoys.
D) Stealth Technology: Incorrect, as stealth reduces detectability, not counters missiles.
Question 6
Correct Answer: B) Electronic Protection (EP)
Explanation: Varying a radar’s signal pattern to reduce detection vulnerability is an Electronic Protection (EP) measure.
A) Signal Interception: Incorrect, as interception is passive and does not protect systems.
C) Electronic Attack (EA): Incorrect, as EA disrupts enemy systems, not protects own systems.

Question 7
Correct Answer: A) Electronic Support (ES)
Explanation: Detecting and classifying enemy radar signals for threat assessment is an Electronic Support (ES) function.
B) Electronic Attack (EA): Incorrect, as EA involves active disruption, not signal analysis.
