2.1 Radar Resource Management for UESA
By: Michael Zatman
MIT Lincoln Laboratory | Abstract: This paper describes how a circular UHF electronically scanned array like that currently being considered by the US Navy could be used to simultaneously perform both AEW search and high update rate tracking of a few targets. Taxonomies of the various search and track modes are reported, and an example radar resource configuration is described in detail. |
2.2 Moving Target Detection in Over-the-Horizon Radar Using Adaptive Chirplet Transform

Naval Research Laboratory | Abstract: In over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) moving target detection, the signal to clutter ratio (SCR) is low. One method to detect a moving target is to first reject the clutter and improve the SCR before the detection, such as the adaptive Fourier transform developed by Root when a target moves uniformly. When a target does not move uniformly, the Fourier based techniques for the target detection including super resolution techniques may not work well. In this paper, we replace the Fourier transform by the adaptive Chirplet transform in the Doppler processing in OTHR when a target moves non-uniformly. |
2.3 The Problem of Kill Assessment: A Challenge for Radar Tracking Systems Part II: the Doppler Effect and Data
By: John E. Gray
Naval Surface Warfare Center | Abstract: In this paper, the future problems of kill assessment in the exo-atmosphere is discussed. The concentration is on characterizing the Doppler spectrum of objects that are undergoing non-uniform motion. Then a data collection experiment is discussed for gathering exo-atmospheric Doppler data. |
2.4 Real-Time Dwell Scheduling of Component-Oriented Phased-Array Radars
By: Tei-Wei Kuo
National Taiwan University | Abstract: A multi-function phased array must search and track suspicious targets in its surveillance space in a real-time fashion. This paper targets one of the most important issues in the design of modern phased array radars: real-time dwell scheduling. We propose a rate-based approach to schedule radar dwells in a real-time fashion. We show how to reserve radar resources to guarantee the minimum radar operation without sacrificing the stability of the system. The strength of our approach is verified by a series of simulation experiments based on a real phased array for air defense frigates. |
