Surveillance Radar Detection (SURDET) Program.

Abstract

The Surveillance Radar Detection (SURDET) model is a user-oriented computer model that produces target detections and position estimates for each radar scan. The model employs a variety of target trajectories and environments including jamming, multipath propagation, and rain and sea clutter. The model is a Monte-Carlo simulation, and the automatic detector is simulated on a pulse-to-pulse basis that takes into account target suppression and resolution effects in a dense-target environment. The output of this program can be used as the input for the Multiple Radar Integrated Tracking (MERIT) program. A model overview, instructions for the use of SURDET, sample outputs, and a detailed description of each SURDET routine are included in the report. (Author)
