Development of a Hybrid Radar Landmass Simulator: Engineering Report Number 7

Abstract

An integrated set of computer software is described for the generation if airborne radar displays, simulating the earth's topographic features and man-made objects to the extent they are apparent on the indicator of a modern scanning radar, as a function of the aspect from which the earth is viewed and the salient characteristics of the viewing radar system. The programs are based on previous PRA work in the simulation of air-to-ground radar displays and provide a versatile laboratory tool for the evaluation of radar simulation techniques with a variety of user options for adjusting scale factors, inserting/deleting special effects, changing the precision of the calculations, incorporating nonlinearities, and varying characteristics of the simulated radar and its antenna.
