AN OCEAN SURVEILLANCE EXPERIMENT USING HF

Abstract

This report explores the use of HF backscatter radar in conjunction with an artificial ionosphere obtained by forming an electron cloud at E layer altitudes. An ocean surveillance experiment is suggested aimed at obtaining over-the-horizon HF radar coverage of ships a few hundred miles from the radar site.
