Toward Optimizing OTH-System Performance Through the Use of Digital Techniques for Data Handling and Processing

Abstract

This report describes the need for implementing advanced concepts of 0TH- system performance capabilities in a research and development environment prior to the design of an operational 0TH radar system. Specifically the improvement of data-handling and digital signal-processing techniques are discussed. The benefits of increasing the digital capabilities of the Madre system include an automated methodology for target-track synthesis, real-time optimum operational frequency utilization, transmission of covert messages to the Quiet Task Force (QTF), improved probability of detection of ships through reduction of resolution cell size, and improved prob ability of detection of small targets such as antiship missile. The hardware needed to accomplish this system performance is described in detaiL Emphasis is placed on the impact of 0TH technology on naval application%
