Switch to the offense. Noise jamming raises the threat's floor until real returns vanish — and the self-protect J/S grows as $R^2$, so the jammer wins far out and loses close in, where the radar burns through.

Demo

Jammer / J/S Explorer

Vary power, RCS, and range to watch J/S follow $R^2$ and the burn-through range slide inward.
