Computational and Statistical Foundations of Radar Signal Processing in the Low False Alarm Regime
Abstract
Emerging and envisioned remote sensing systems for defense and national security applications,particularly Air Force radar systems, increasingly employ networked assets operating in multistaticmodes. The first thrust of this research is to develop the statistical foundations for practical applications of multi-channel detection in multistatic radar and electronic surveillance. A second thrust of the project addresses computational issues involved in operation of these detectors in low probability of false alarm regimes. Performance curves in the published literature compare detector performance only at false alarm rates that are not nearly low enough to be meaningful in practice. Although important, examination of lower rates presents challenges in computational mathematics that have not yet been addressed.
