If a virus got into a radar how would it destroy the radar?

Answer 1

I am assuming that you will be downloading something to overwrite software code in the radar it's self. It depends on the radar type but you would want to make it Listen when it transmits enough time to blow out the front end LNA, or transmit over its duty cycle to strip the ions form the GRID, switch waveguide switches while transmitting to encourage arching. Perhaps wild scan patterns to burn out scanner motors. However, hardware precaution normal protects the hardware from mal-function from the software elements. Build In Test (BIT) check out functionality for Go or No-Go test. But perhaps it would be easiest to erase the E-Squared memory.
