Pulsed Anti-Radiation Seeker

Anti-radiation seekers home in on the radiated energy of a target. These seekers also make great validators, allowing the missile to discriminate between a ship and a simple decoy like chaff by checking for radio emissions

Pulsed ARAD is a subset of ARAD seeker, costing 2.5pt when a ARAD seeker is set to pulsed ARAD signals only mode. When operating in this mode, the seeker only looks for pulsed radar signals within its cone, and steers the missile towards the target.

Pulsed ARAD has 30 seconds of "validator memory", which means that as long as a track has been validated by the seeker once and the primary seeker can still see the target, it will stay valid for at least 30 seconds even if it no longer seen by the Pulsed ARAD validator.
