Polar Skywave
Abstract
Polar Skywave directly supports the National Defense Strategy’s priority for increased lethality through persistent long range sensors to address the limitations of the current North Warning Systems and emerging threats. The Polar Skywave project will mature and experiment with RF hardware and advanced radar processing algorithms to validate that over-the-horizon skywave radar is viable for a future surveillance system in the polar region. Beginning in FY 2018, the Polar Skywave prototype sensor focused on ten major tasks to extend skywave radar to polar regions including deployment of HF radar hardware for a scaled model and refinement of signal processing techniques that leverage machine learning.
