Effects of Random Background on Automatic Detection in Lorad.

Abstract

The single-ping false alarm performance of the Lorad system has been analyzed. Formulas are presented which give the false alarm rates resulting from specified detection criteria. The treatment encompasses analog processes as well as computer programs. A probability model has been developed which is applicable to a wide variety of search systems which process data in sampled form. In addition, these techniques are applicable to automatic target classification processes.
