Windfarm Interference Negation Demonstration (WIND)
Abstract
This project will provide for the development and demonstration of an adaptive clutter map algorithm to mitigate the false target detections resulting from wind farms within the Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR-3) radar coverage area. The algorithm will ensure that the number of uncorrelated detections resulting from wind turbines remains low and prevent the ARSR-3 from being desensitized. Initial testing will occur at the ARSR-3 Program Support Facility (PSF) radar at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, followed by key site testing at the ARSR-3 site in the vicinity of the Fossil, Oregon windfarm area. This project will require the close coordination of a group of over ten US Government stakeholders including the Department of Defense (DoD), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
