Millimeter Wave Technology Program.
Abstract
The purpose of the program is to develop and demonstrate a millimeter-wave Space Object Identification Radar System. It includes three responsibilities: (1) preparation of existing 15-ft millimeter antenna for radar installation; (2) definition and implementation of the acquisition and tracking system; and (3) performance of mission analysis for millimeter radars. The radar installation preparations for the 15-ft antenna are described. The acquisition and tracking system is defined and system errors are individually established; the hardware and software necessary for implementation of this system are partially complete. The mission analysis tasks include investigation of millimeter radar-capabilities and 93-GHz scattering measurements on typical satellite materials, structural components, and visible sensors.
