Integrating an Airborne L-Band Sea Clutter Model into Research Laboratory Space Time Adaptive Processing (RLSTAP)
Abstract
Research Laboratory Space Time Adaptive Processing (RLSTAP) is a compilation of a multiple-channel radar environment, signal and hardware programs integrated within the KHOROS environment. RLSTAP was initially developed for the U.S. DARPA Mountain Top Program, and has since been used by several TTCP subgroups for collaborative efforts. Member nations of the SEN TP3 group have been using RLSTAP as the baseline radar system simulator for collaborative radar performance assessment. Under SEN TP3 Task 4 Collaborative Radar Simulation Validation, we have integrated an L-band sea clutter model with existing RLSTAP programs without extensive redesigning or recoding of the original sea clutter 'C' program. This report serves to illustrate how the KHOROS software development tools can be used to modify a stand-alone L-band sea clutter model written in 'C' for KHOROS compliance. The rest of the report contains an overview of RLSTAP clutter models and detail formulation of the second-order L-band sea clutter model.
