Simulation of Space Based Radar Surveillance Systems II: Software to Perform Time of Revisit Studies.

Abstract

A computer simulation of the coverage of satellite borne radars with mechanical and/or electronic scanning mode has been implemented in APL language. The number of revisits and the revisit time are calculated for a set of points of reference. The programs are producing either paper printout or graphic displays on a Tektronic screen. This simulation is a component of a software package designed to study space based radar surveillance systems. Originator supplied keywords include: Computer simulation; Space based radar; Surveillance systems; Time of revisit.
