Surveillance Radar Detection (SURDET) Program: Revision Number 1.

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. This version documents the inclusion of an M out of N detector, a doppler processor, and monopulse capability of estimating the azimuth and elevation angles of the target. (Author)
