Morphology

simulative + electronic + deception

Each constituent — 'simulative' (imitative), 'electronic' (using electronic technology) and 'deception' (deliberate misleading) — composes directly to yield the overall meaning of using electronic means to imitate or mislead. Although the phrase is domain-specific (military/technical), its semantic parts combine in a straightforward, predictable way that a B1 learner who knows the words can infer.

Etymology

Simulative electronic deception is like turning on fake radio or radar signals so an enemy sees things that are not really there. The word simulative means 'to copy', electronic is 'using signals', and deception means 'to trick', so the phrase means 'using electronic tricks to mislead an enemy about your real abilities'.
