Radar jamming

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Radar jamming and deception.

Radar jamming and deception is a form of electronic countermeasures (ECMs) that intentionally sends out radiofrequency signals to interfere with the operation of radar by saturating its receiver with noise or false information. Concepts that blanket the radar with signals so its display cannot be read are normally known as jamming, while systems that produce confusing or contradictory signals are known as deception, but it is also common for all such systems to be referred to as jamming.
