Airborne Decoy & Ghosting System (ADGS)

The Airborne Decoy & Ghosting System (ADGS) is an advanced airborne electronic warfare simulation payload designed to emulate aircraft signatures for training, radar evaluation, mission rehearsal, and electronic warfare experimentation. The system creates configurable virtual air tracks that can be used to evaluate surveillance systems, train operators, and validate air-defense networks in controlled environments.
