Real-time Location of Targets in Cluttered Environments
SBC: MATHEMATICAL SYSTEMS & SOLUTIONS, INC. Topic: AF12BT05ABSTRACT: We propose development of an efficient physics-based computational capability for real-time radar location of targets in cluttered environments. Our effort will focus, in particular, on air traffic targets in static natural environments that include dynamic effects such as spinning wind turbines. The proposed methodology models radar signal scattering in cluttered environments on t ...

Suppression of Wind Turbine Clutter from Radar Data
SBC: MATRIX RESEARCH INC Topic: AF12BT05ABSTRACT: It is well known that wind turbine clutter (WTC) presents a significant challenge to detecting targets in civilian and military applications. The large radar cross section (RCS) of wind turbines, combined with their significant range of Doppler spread, make traditional clutter mitigation techniques effectively useless. The objective of this Phase I effort is to develop a physically con ...

Innovations in Physical Modeling and Statistical Exploitation of Electromagnetic Target Signatures
SBC: Five Focal LLC Topic: AF12BT06ABSTRACT: Feature extraction and target recognition suffer from a lack of a reliable model for both exploitable target features and the electromagnetic signature they possess. Signature data are often hard to interpret and invert to recover the target robustly. Bayesian learning approaches to statistical pattern recognition are based on the use of training sets of inputs and outputs, a data mode ...
