Unattended/Minimally Attended Radar Study. Volume I. Summary.

Abstract

The technical summary is a synopsis of the Unattended/Minimally Attended Radar Study to investigate the exploratory and advance development activities necessary to support the development of unattended and minimally attended radars. The study looked at several radar designs. The primary considerations were high reliability and low-life cycle cost, with the additional constraint that the unattended radars were to use no more than approximately 500 W of prime power. The conclusion of the study is that the technology is potentially available to build radars with MTBF's, an order of magnitude greater than that exhibited by present radar systems. (Author)
