Raysia, #2 is the radar system we've worked out
1) By using the ability to produce artificial diamonds to produce fiberoptics, we can now stop some of the damage from anti-aircraft weapons. We consider this a temporary solution and we are willing to pay for information concerning a better means of stopping anti-aircraft lasers.
2) To combat the wave of radar cancelling jammers that have recently flooded the aerospace market, RelicArms brought you a gridded 'Process of Elimination' radar system capable of detecting craft by the fact that they don't have radar returns. The next step is much more tricky. Certain countries have developed radar cancelling equipment advanced enough to make a false return signal that looks like empty air. Our solution comes in the:
Cascading, Self-Cancelling Doppler Effect, Gridded Radar*deep breath*
In our original gridded radar arrangement, a target was located by 2 numbers, sphere grid(the box on the sphere), and range. This worked fine on everything but the most advanced radar cancellers because they could fill in the blank space they left that marked them as a target. We sent out 1 beam, and they gave us 1 return. Now we have to take it a step further and grade on 3 numbers, sphere grid, x range grid, and z range grid. To demonstrate a little:

Each one of those boxes is a separate set of radar frequencies. We send 6 beams to each box, and through a combination of cancellation effects triggered by the doppler effect, only 2 beams come back. When a next generation radar jammer gets hit by all these signals, it sends all of them back, but the doppler effect is reset because of the change in source, meaning all 6 beams are bounced back. Even though it sends back what would normally be thought of as a return from empty air, the presence of the extra beams means that something altered them, because in natural empty air only 2 of the beams would make it back.
This does require a lot of calculations on the part of the computer, meaning not all nations will be able to implement this system, however it doesn't require much in the way of changing radar antennae, so it can be a simple software upgrade for many. This tech will go on sale at our storefront soon.
