An Overview of the Crest Challenge

Abstract

In support of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Advanced Signal Processing Program and the Common Research Environment for Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) Technology (CREST), a challenge had been issued to the radar and signal processing community. Several simulated data sets that emulate returns from a flying phased array surveillance radar were created and placed on the World Wide Web. The challenge was to resolve all target information. Each of the four data sets for the challenge was created with the Rome Laboratory Space Time Adaptive Processing Algorithm Development Tool. This report documents the generation and properties of each data set contained in the CREST challenge. Also, several performance results using conventional and Space Time Adaptive Processing techniques are given to indicate the presence of targets in each data set.
