TARGET DETECTION RANGE [6 records]

Record 1 2006-10-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Target Acquisition
CONT

Prior to having LRAS3 [Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System], soldiers would maneuver vehicles along the low ground to avoid detection by enemy forces. Because of the system's long-range target acquisition capabilities, after receiving LRAS3, soldiers have increased flexibility in their tactics, techniques, and procedures to allow maneuverability along the high ground.

Modern "nose radars" have a large, and ever-growing, range of assignments, encompassing all-weather navigation, surveillance, target detection and tracking, weapon aiming and missile guidance and many more besides, all backed in many cases by a variety of display systems,....

Les radars "de nez" modernes ont une vaste gamme de fonctions, toujours croissante, qui comprend la navigation tout-temps, la veille, la détection et la poursuite des objectifs, le pointage des armes et le guidage des missiles, pour ne mentionner que les plus importantes.

Subject field(s)

CONT

(...), the MTD [Moving Target Detection] principle involves dividing up the entire radar coverage area into small range-azimuth cells-(...) called ’coherent processing intervals’(CPI). Eight pulses generated at a constant repetition frequency are assigned to each cell, and each return is subjected to Doppler filtering over a range of velocity values. The particular feature of MTD is its ability to measure the density of clutter and to detect the sudden presence of an additional element-such as an aircraft moving into a particular cell-even though it may have zero relative velocity on account of its tangential track.

CONT

Le principe du MTD [Moving Target Detection] est de diviser la zone couverte par le radar en secteurs définis en distance et en azimut (...) et appelés «intervalles de traitement cohérent» (ITC). A chaque secteur sont affectées huit impulsions émises selon une fréquence de répétition constante et chaque écho est soumis à un filtrage Doppler couvrant toute une gamme de vitesses. La caractéristique essentielle du MTD est son aptitude à mesurer la densité des échos parasites et à y détecter la présence soudaine de tout élément nouveau - tel qu'un aéronef entrant dans un secteur donné - même si sa vitesse relative est nulle du fait que sa trajectoire est tangentielle.
