Sensitivity of Single-Pulse Radar Detection to Aircraft Pose Uncertainties
Mission planners for aircraft that operate in radar detection environments are often concerned the probability of detection. The probability of detection is a nonlinear function of the aircraft pose and radar position. Current path planning techniques for this application assume that the aircraft pose is deterministic. In practice, however, the aircraft pose is estimated using a navigation filter and therefore contains uncertainty. The uncertainty in the aircraft pose induces uncertainty in the probability of detection, but this phenomenon is generally not considered when path planning. This paper provides a method for combining aircraft pose uncertainty with single-pulse radar detection models to aid mission planning efforts. The method linearizes the expression for the probability of detection and three radar cross section models. The linearized models are then used to determine the variability of the probability of detection induced by uncertainty in the aircraft pose. The results of this paper validate the linearization using Monte Carlo analysis and explore the sensitivity of the probability of detection to aircraft pose uncertainty.

PositionSensitivityRadar detection of wake vortex behind the aircraft: the detection range problem
In this study, we showcased the detection of the wake vortex produced by a medium aircraft at distances exceeding 10 km using an X-band pulse-Doppler radar. We analyzed radar signals within the range profiles behind a Bo…
Improving Pulse-Compression Weather Radar via the Joint Design of Subpulses and Extended Mismatch Filter
Pulse compression can enhance both the performance in range resolution and sensitivity for weather radar. However, it will introduce the issue of high sidelobes if not delicately implemented. Motivated by this fact, we f…

PositionDetecting radar targets swarms in range profiles with a partially complex-valued neural network
Correctly detecting radar targets is usually challenged by clutter and waveform distortion. An additional difficulty stems from the relative proximity of several targets, the latter being perceived as a single target in …
