03 Propagation Model Validation ASPHALT DEPRESSION 15

Description of "asphalt depression" field tests results to validate the propagation model I used for real-time ECM effectiveness feedback for two applications:
1) counter-RCIED ECM Protection Range Estimator, and
2) cognitive ship defence against missile attack, specifically jog detection.
There is a depression in the test range surface, observable in measurement data. It appears possible to measure the depression depth by using the propagation model.
Video features an unique software application to play back spectra recorded at one meter intervals to produce a "live" graph of measured power versus range.
