Ultra-wideband radar: Research and development considerations
Abstract
An initial investigation into the technology of impulse radar is provided. The principal purpose is to provide a road map for exploratory development by defining critical technology issues for a research investment strategy. There are urgent requirements for improving radar capability for target identification or noncooperative target recognition (NCTR). Progress in NCTR was primarily in information processing, with few technological advances in the sensor domain. Impulse radar provides new and revolutionary ideas which can offer new capabilities for active surveillance. These capabilities are discussed along with issues that must be resolved before system development is undertaken.
