Chaff vs radar controlled guns

[RaoulDuke1980]

I'm just curious, since chaff is designed to spoof radar guided missiles, could it possibly spoof a radar controlled gun such as shilka or tunguska?

Technically chaff is not designed to spoof missiles but to disrupt the radar lock in the first place. So if you manage to break the lock of the radar you can spoof any radar-guided stuff including radar guided missiles bullets or potatoes.

The problem is that one break-lock might be enough to dispose of a missile, but a gun can re-lock and start firing again.

I might cetainly help - initially the chaff will move the radar centroid away from the plane, making aim less accurate for the weapon of your choice. Depending on the sophistication of said weapon, this might not be enough.

Throw in a jammer and you might see interesting things, too.
