LOW-COST, HIGH-PERFORMANCE RADAR NETWORKS

摘要

A real-time radar surveillance system comprises at least one land-based non-
coherent radar
sensor apparatus adapted for detecting maneuvering targets and targets of
small or low radar
cross-section. The radar sensor apparatus includes a marine radar device, a
digitizer
connected to the marine radar device for receiving therefrom samples of radar
video echo
signals, and computer programmed to implement a software-configurable radar
processor
generating target data including detection data and track data, the computer
being connectable
to a computer network including a database. The processor is figured to
transmit at least a
portion of the target data over the network to the database, the database
being accessible via
the network by at least one user application that receives target data from
the database, the
user application providing a user interface for at least one user of the
system.
