Advances in airborne radar. The new capabilities
Abstract
The power and speed of the minicomputer, microprocessor, and other signal processing subsystems have had a very significant effect on the operational capability now available from airborne radar. The mechanization of hitherto unrealizable processing strategies has encouraged the development of more sophisticated pulse compression and pulse Doppler radars and allowed them to achieve their full potential within the size and weight constraints of an aircraft installation. The new capabilities in each of the operational roles in which radar is used outlining the techniques employed are reviewed.
