Multispectral High Fidelity Radar Scene Generator. Phase 1

Abstract

This report covers effort from Mar. 12, 1999 to Sep. 12, 1999 and describes the design of a physics based virtual RADAR Scene Generator (RSG). Though the RSG product is designed keeping in mind its application as a detailed training device for RADAR operators, the Malibu Research implementation is a faithful reproduction of RADAR phenomenology, and consequently, the RSG serves as a design/development tool for RADARs in general, allowing quick iteration and optimization of the signal processor and operational algorithms during RADAR system development and upgrade cycles. The RSG design relies on currently available COTS hardware and therefore can be built from available components. The state of the COTS art allows parallel processing using multiple processing nodes and is scalable depending on the specific requirement, which is determined by the capacity of the target RADAR signal processor. An overall design for the RSG has been presented herein. This final report draws from various progress reports that describe the significant design details. These have been attached for reference.
