Validation of multi-scatterer land vehicle model derived by ISAR projection
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to validate multi-scatterer land vehicle models. The models are derived from the projection of Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) images onto a geometric facet model. The multi-scatterer models are used in the U.S. Army MICOM Millimeter Simulation System for real-time seeker-in-the-loop simulations. Monopulse, polarimetric, high-range-resolution vehicle signatures are simulated in real-time to test seeker tracking algorithms. Model validation is accomplished by visual and statistical comparison of actual turntable measurements, computer simulated model results, and measurements taken in the real-time simulation. Sum and delta channel range profiles, average RCS (Radar Cross Section), simulated and measurement ISAR images, and seeker output are to be compared.
