Discrete Clutter Measurements Program: Operations in Western Massachusetts

Abstract

The MITRE Corporation has been conducting a clutter measurements program aimed at providing data for use in the AWACS program. Preliminary results, obtained at Boston Hill, suggested the need for a mobile radar in order to study the grazing and azimuthal angle dependence of discrete clutter. A truck-mounted radar facility has been constructed and operated in the western area of Massachusetts. This report describes the facility and the results obtained.
