Modern jammer systems are capable of extremely rapid reconfiguration, allowing them to counter multiple simultaneous threats in a time-interleaved manner. However, simultaneously encountered threats cause jamming pulses to coincide in time, leading to the problem of deciding which of the threats to jam when such coincidences occur. In this article, an approach to determining the relative priority of jammer pulses is proposed and evaluated to show that time-interleaved jamming is a viable approach to effectively countering multiple simultaneous threats.en© 2023 IEEE.
