Efficient and cost-effective technologies are required to support radar ground clutter characterizations for weapon system simulations. Current methods for clutter measurement are often limited in diversity of look angle, frequency band, and spatial location. In order to address such limitations,… More

We will use our thorough understanding of AMRDEC radar scene generation and SAR processing to study various techniques for generating spatially correlated scenes. The technique(s) that produces the desired SAR scene at the desired update rate will be chosen. This technique(s) will be further… More

A technique that enables new methods of obscurant modeling with faster rendering while maintaining or improving physical fidelity is proposed. the proposed technique not only exhibits the qualities of voxel based obscurants, but matches real-world data as well. The main objective from Phase I… More

A technique that enables rapid high fidelity SAR scene generation is proposed. Results of Phase I have shown the proposed technique superior to current convolution methods. The technique will be optimized and tested for the AMRDEC common scene generator. A stand-alone product for commercialization… More
