Advanced Robust STAP Algorithms and Fast Performance Evaluation Techniques Based on Rare Event Theory

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Twente as follows: The Grantee will investigate the development of new algorithms to reduce the Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection for radar applications. These will occur in three steps. First, the clutter environment will be modeled to include algorithmic non-homogeneities. Second, the effects of mutual coupling between antenna elements in a STAP array will be considered, either through simulated mathematical models incorporated into processing or through practical measurements. Finally, given the vast amounts of data that need to be processed in STAP, fast simulation methods will be investigated and proposed.
