Simplified Multimode Airborne Radar Techniques Study.
Abstract
This document is the final report on NAVAIR's Simplified Multimode Airborne Radar Techniques study program. This study was based on some new concepts which Technology Service Corporation evolved during a recent company-funded IR and D program aimed at achieving simplified signal processing techniques for application in multimode airborne radars. With the recent advances in digital technology, many new sophisticated signal processing techniques have been evolved which promise considerable improvement in radar performance. Although these improvements are being realized in current development programs, they involve relatively complex and costly implementations. This study program was based upon the belief that a simplified multimode processor at low cost can be implemented based on the ideas which have emerged from the IR and D program mentioned above. The performance achieved cannot equal that of the more sophisticated techniques currently being developed. However, the study has shown that moderately good performance in all modes can be achieved with a low-cost processor, and that this performance will provide substantially better operational capability than is available in many avionics systems in the current inventory.
