Tactical Persistent Surveillance Radar with Applications introduces
technologists to the essential elements of persistent surveillance
of tactical targets from both a hardware and software point of
view, using simple Mathcad, Excel and Basic examples with real
data. It is based on the type of surveillance done by drones like
Scan Eagle, Predator, Reaper, Global Hawk, and manned aircraft like
U-2, ASTOR, and JSTARS as well as spacecraft. The general topic is
cellphone and datalink intercept, ground moving target radar,
synthetic aperture radar, navigation, tracking, electronic scanning
and cueing electro-optical sensors for activity based surveillance.
Examples are taken from a wide range of technologies and techniques
including passive detection, radar detection, antenna monopulse,
active electronic scanned antennas (AESA), moving target tracking
(MTT), motion compensation, tactical target spectral
characteristics, moving target detection (MTI), space time adaptive
processing (STAP), synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, change
detection (CCD), and synthetic monopulse. Over 120 example
applications programs are included in the appendices and as
downloads as well as over 100 SAR and GMTI raw IQ data files. These
allow the curious to experiment with their own parameters and
notions to achieve a greater understanding of the underlying
behaviors. Based on the author's 55-year experience in engineering
design, leadership, teaching and consulting, this book is an
essential text for researchers, advanced students and technologists
working in radar and related fields in computing and aerospace
system design.
