Advanced Radar Testing Techniques II
Abstract
The objective of this methodology investigation was to provide a detailed instruction set for the purpose of planning and conducting system level testing of advanced radars at USAEPG. The objective of this methodology investigation has been realized by the preparation of detailed instructions for performing system level testing of radar system characteristics. The methodology report specifies measurement instructions for modern radar parameters including ultra low sidelobes, probability of intercept, velocity response, target acquisition time, digital subsystem response, antenna beam forming control, and radar data processing. Test measurement accuracy issues have been discussed and error analyses have been provided. Recommendations for radar test facility improvements and for Test Operations Procedures (TOPs) have been included in the report. The analysis has provided needed methodology for the USAEPG to support the future testing of weapons location radars, search and acquisition radars, and battlefield surveillance radars.
