The Radar Roadmap
Abstract
The Radar Roadmap describes where radars can go in the future. This document is a statement from the technical community of the instrumentation radar requirements for 10, 20, and even 30 years into the future. It describes the requirements for software and hardware extensibility, discusses interoperability considerations, describes desirable signal processing procedures, and outlines approaches for integrating radars into a comprehensive system of systems. To keep pace with changing technologies, this update increases emphasis in several technical areas. These areas include Digital Beam Forming, High-Range and Doppler Resolution, Multiple-Object Tracking, and Remote Control. A few new sections have been added, including Requirements Validation, Open-Architecture Design, Spectrum Management, Stretch Processing, Range-Doppler Detection, and Remote Operations Capability (ROC). These new sections describe the requirements development process, address requirements for software and hardware extensibility, discuss interoperability considerations, describe desirable signal processing procedures, and outline approaches for integrating radars into a comprehensive system of systems (SoS).
