A Shipborne Surveillance Radar Model for Data Fusion Studies

Abstract

This report presents a surveillance radar model to support the ongoing multi-sensor data fusion performance evaluation study for potential application to the Canadian Patrol Frigate midlife upgrade. This surveillance radar model takes into account the sensor's design parameters and external environmental effects such es clutter, propagation and jamming. To a large extent, the model is based on the available literature and on relevant experience and recent studies in the field. In addition, the latest findings regarding the dominant perturbing effects affecting the radar detection performance are included. The radar model can be used to generate contacts and false alarms in scenarios for multi-sensor data fusion studies while the scenario is running.
