Beyond Linear Signal Processing (BLiP)
Abstract
The Beyond Linear Signal Processing (BLiP) program will perform a fundamental redevelopment of the radar signal processing chain with the intent that smaller radar apertures will operate with the performance of much larger, more expensive radar systems. Building upon earlier technology efforts, including the Arrays at Commercial Timescales (ACT) program (previously budgeted in PE 0602716E/Project ELT-01), which focused on hardware-based limitations such as bandwidth and dynamic range, BLiP will focus on the software and signal processing to fundamentally enhance all radars. Multiple recent developments show that non-linear and iterative estimation algorithms can out-perform our current linear radar signal processing algorithms. BLiP will develop and mature the algorithms for specific radar mission areas through rapid development, integration, real-time processing, and field testing.
