The research described in this proposal is intended to provide the basis for the development of advanced models for prediction and analysis of low-frequency radar signatures of ground targets in terrain clutter. The specific purpose of the proposed workis to formulate an accurate and computationally efficient approach, including prototype computer models, for simulating radar scattering between 30 MHz and 1 GHz by targets that are electromagnetically coupled to ground cover. Using the formulation andphysics-based models that are the intended product of this work, it should be possible to accurately predict monostatic and bistatic radar signatures of targets concealed in, or obscured by, ground clutter.The ultimate objective of this proposed work isthe development of a comprehensive set of computational modules that would be integrated into existing commercial radar signature prediction software. The overall commercialization plan also includes integration of the advanced clutter modeling capabilityinto a suite of software tools currently being developed for use in RF/wireless site layout and remote sensing applications.
