An electronic countermeasure (ECM) is an electrical or electronic device designed to trick or deceive radar, sonar or other detection systems, like infrared (IR) or lasers. It may be used both offensively and defensively to deny targeting information to an enemy. The system may make many separate targets appear to the enemy, or make the real target appear to disappear or move about randomly. First example of electronic countermeasures being applied in a combat situation took place during the Russo-Japanese war. On April 15, 1904, Russian wireless telegraphy stations installed in the Port Arthur fortress and on board Russian light cruisers successfully interrupted wireless communication between a group of Japanese battleships. The spark-gap transmitters in the Russian stations generated senseless noise while the Japanese were making attempts to coordinate their efforts in the bombing of a Russian naval base. Germany and United Kingdom interfered with enemy communications along the western front during World War I while the Royal Navy tried to intercept German naval radio transmissions. There were also efforts at sending false radio signals, having shore stations send transmissions using ships' call signs, and jamming enemy radio signals. World War II ECM expanded to include dropping chaff (originally called Window), jamming and spoofing radar and navigation signals. German bomber aircraft navigated using radio signals transmitted from ground stations, which the British disrupted with spoofed signals in the Battle of the Beams. During the RAF's night attacks on Germany the extent of electronic countermeasures was much expanded, and a specialized organization, No. 100 Group RAF, was formed to counter the increasing German night fighter force and radar defenses. Cold War developments included anti-radiation missiles designed to home in on enemy radar transmitters. In the 2007 Operation Orchard Israeli attack on a suspected Syrian nuclear weapons site, the Israel Air Force used electronic warfare to take control of Syrian airspace prior to the attack. Israeli electronic warfare (EW) systems took over Syria's air defense systems, feeding them a false sky-picture while Israel Air Force jets crossed much of Syria, bombed their targets and returned.

"Artists are often told to say nothing when showing their portfolio, to allow the work to speak for itself. But for artist/philosopher Robert daCosta, who has traveled the world's museums looking at art, it has always been mildly disappointing to find only an artist's name and date or a small "untitled" marker next to a work. He would like to know a little more about the work: if an abstract, especially, what was the thought or intellect that inspired it? In this retrospective, which covers 45 years of his own work, the artist eschews this "say nothing" axiom, inviting the viewer into his inner mind and explaining what initiated the works and their underlying rationale. But before you read the description, he encourages, shape your own reaction first, so that your mind is free to focus on its own imagery, to conjure up its own inner feeling for each painting. In this way a painting becomes truly a reflection of life, lying in a state of pure potentia, waiting for the mind to give life to the images it encounters. This is not a book of paintings of scenes or subjects rendered with artisanship alone: the kind that hangs on walls and is noticed for a few days, then "disappears" into the general decor never to be noticed again. Robert daCosta's art has an intangible, intrinsic value that causes the viewer to look at it time and again over the years. It is the art of an artisan who has studied design and composition and it's underlying intellect. It is also the art of a man who has spent the majority of his adult life reading and studying physics and philosophy and brings to his craft the sum of a lifetime of thought about the nature of the universe. In the first half of the book we are invited into the artist's life through an autobiography describing his paths to discovery of his talents in childhood. He shares with us the life choices that allowed him to use his talents while raising a family and running several businesses. His inevitable return to his roots as an artist can be seen in his paintings, which span four decades. The second half of the book presents works rendered using the composition and design aspects of art mastered over the years. These works stem from photographs of unique aspects of life he observed with the eye of an artist while traveling the world with his camera, intending someday to paint these subjects. Using the computer and specialized software - the newest tools available to the arts - Robert daCosta is able to combine his intellect and modern technology to render his compositions into a personal artistic version while retaining the essence of the moment these images were originally captured." - from the inner front jacket flap.
