Abstract
A High Performance Unattended Ground Sensor (HiPer-UGS) system and methods comprising low-power fully functional and independent radar-nodes that communicate directly with a remote radar information gathering or relay point using a long distance communications transceiver co-located in the radar-node.
Claims3
A radar device comprising,
- an phased array antenna, that is electronically steerable, for receiving radar target information electrically coupled to;
- a radar transceiver electrically connected to the phased array antenna;
- a central processing unit, operatively connected to the radar transceiver, the central processing unit operating a computer program to (i) generate target characteristics including target tracking by a time domain filter that compares radar target information to previous radar target information within a scan matrix comprised of radar target information indexed by radar range, azimuth, and instance and a clutter matrix comprised of background radar target information indexed by radar range, azimuth, and instance, and (ii) communicate the target characteristics to;
- a communications transceiver electrically coupled to a L-band antenna;
- and
- a battery electrically coupled to the central processing unit.
