Marine Air Traffic Control and Landing System (MATCALS Investigation). Volume I.

Abstract

This report contains the results of the continuation of Marine Air Traffic Control and Landing System (MATCALS) investigations. The report is organized into three main sections, namely Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four. Part Two presents a method of estimating the centroid location of a target utilizing a scan return amplitude versus angle information. Part Three contains the results of an investigation into replacing the alpha-beta filter in the MATCAL digital controller with an observer, in order to reduce the effects of radar noise. Part Four presents the results of an investigation into replacing the same alpha-beta filter with a tri-state adaptive filter, in order to reduce the effects of radar noise.
