9. You are responsible for developing a new low-altitude (< 100 m max. altitude), subsonic, land attack cruise missile. The Program Executive Officer (PEO) received his training in the 80's. He demands that [the missile] use an "all-weather" altimeter (implying an existing 17-GHz radar altimeter). You know that this device can be detected, localized, identified, and tracked by a new generation of threat-owned, netted, radio-frequency interferometers. As a result, most of the missiles can be easily detected, targeted and downed. Tactfully explain to the PEO why the legacy 17 GHz altimeter can be easily detected and tracked and propose an alternative altimeter/sensor system to the PEO that addresses that issue and justify its ability to meet requirements, including his "all-weather" capability.
