When the future ground track of an aircraft is known and a digital elevation map of the corresponding terrain is available, the average power emitted from a terrain following radar can by greatly reduced. The scan pattern can by very irregular and the radar antenna can be hidden for a relatively large percentage of time. Such reductions in periodic radar emissions can greatly enhance the survivability of aircraft in hostile territory.
