Abstract:

The objective of this test activity is to determine whether a series of modifications made to the MTD (moving target detector) radar/Mode S system can improve the radar/beacon reinforcement rate of that system. The tests will involve a resolution of an azimuth bias problem in the MTD radar, modifying the algorithm in the Mode S sensor which creates the radar/beacon reinforcement window around the beacon targets, and optimizing the pertinent parameters dealing with radar/beacon reinforcement in the Mode S sensor.
