Going to use the air data probe for FOX-4? Get a life. Stealth works
superbly against X-band RADARs. In case you didn't understand, even
with MagicTech multistatic RADARs, the interceptor is going to be
effectively blind, none of his guided weapons will work and he's
reduced to being a Hawker Hunter blindly poking around the night sky
aided by hints from the GCI site.

One of the big ugly problems with multistatics is that they're *really*
vulnerable to wideband jamming. Put up a half-dozen very low power
jammers in their line of sight, and they're screwed.

Since the systems are dealing with sub-nanowatt signals in the first
place (less if trying to detect stealthy airframes), a milliwatt would
be more than enough. A couple of watts of fairly directional RF over a
very wide bandwidth would do the trick. A few hundred watts aimed at
the radar might even do enough damage to take the system offline.

The problem is compounded by the fact that "celldars" and distributed
radars don't actually have that many frequencies to choose from. If
they're doing the full passive schtick, they only get a handful of
civilian frequencies, and if they're active parts of the system, they
can be jammed and/or blown up.
