Aegis: Advanced Multi-function Array Radar
نویسنده
چکیده
Development of the Advanced Multi-Function Array Radar (AMFAR) by APL in the late 1960's represented a new dimension in radar system technology. AMFAR demonstrated the feasibility of automatic detection and tracking with resistance to environmental clutter through computer control. The development of automatic detection and tracking capability in AMFAR eliminated the inherent delays, errors, and saturation associated with manual control of the radar. This pioneering effort laid the foundation for Radar System AN/ SPY-lA, the Weapon Control Radar System now being produced by RCA as a major element of the AEGIS Weapon System for TICONDEROGA (CG-47).

A New Algorithm for Phased Array Radar Search Function Improvement in Overload Situations
A new algorithm is proposed for phased array radar search function resource allocation. The proposed algorithm adaptively priorities radar search regions and in overload situations, based on available resources, radar characteristics, maximum range and search regions, optimally allocates radar resources in order to maximize probability of detection. The performance of new algorithm is evaluated...

متن کاملAdvanced Multi-Channel SAR Imaging – Measured Data Demonstration
Multi-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) allows for high-resolution wide-swath imagery thus overcoming the inherent limitation of conventional SAR. To cope with a non-uniformly sampled data array in azimuth caused by variations of the pulse repetition frequency (PRF), such systems require appropriate coherent processing as e.g. the multi-channel reconstruction algorithm. This paper presents...
