Advanced Detection Theory of Surface Targets,

Abstract

This report is concerned with a current technology study of advanced detection theory of surface targets. It contains the results of a literature search and survey and lists some of the conclusions drawn from an exhaustive survey by Franklin and Whittenburg. Three early mathematical models and background studies (1. The Planning Research Corporation Model, 2. The Hughes Aircraft Company Model, and 3. The IBM Radar Target Identification Study) are discussed briefly and three current mathematical models (1, The North American Aviation Model, 2. The Bailey Model, and 3. The Schade Model) are discussed in more detail. Hughes Aircraft Company adaptations of the Bailey and Schade Models are described fully followed by a comparison and critique of the two programs. Some applications of the Bailey and Schade models to programs at Calac are also set forth. The report terminates with several conclusions and recommendations regarding further areas for investigation and study in this field. (Author)
