  2. Track while scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_while_scan

    The drawback is that once the radar is set to tracking a single target, the operator loses information about any other targets. This is the problem that track while scan is meant to address. In traditional radar systems, the display is purely electrical; signals from the radar dish are amplified and sent directly to an oscilloscope for display ...

  3. AN/AWG-9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/AWG-9

    The AN/AWG-9 and AN/APG-71 radars are all-weather, multi-mode X band pulse-Doppler radar systems used in the F-14 Tomcat, and also tested on TA-3B. [1] It is a long-range air-to-air system capable of guiding several AIM-54 Phoenix or AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles simultaneously, using its track while scan mode.

  4. Counter-battery radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-battery_radar

    Counter-battery radars operate at microwave frequencies with relatively high average energy consumption, up to the tens of kilowatts. The area immediately forward of the radar array for high energy radars is dangerous to human health. The intense radar waves of systems like the AN/TPQ-36 can detonate electrically fused ammunition at short ranges.

  5. Radar tracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_tracker

    The EKF is an extension of the Kalman filter to cope with cases where the relationship between the radar measurements and the track coordinates, or the track coordinates and the motion model, is non-linear. In this case, the relationship between the measurements and the state is of the form h = f(x) (where h is the vector of measurements, x is ...

    AN/CPS-1 - Microwave Early Warning (MEW) radar. World's first microwave phased-array antenna. AN/FPN-16 Precision Approach Radar (PAR) AN/FPN-47 Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) AN/FPQ-16 Perimeter Acquisition Radar at Cavalier AFS, North Dakota (an engineering development model was tested at Syracuse) AN/FPS-3 search radar; AN/FPS-4 Height-Finder

  7. AN/APG-65 radar family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/APG-65_radar_family

    AN/APG-65 radar installed in an F/A-18 Hornet. The APG-65 was developed in the late 1970s and has been operational since 1983. The radar includes a velocity search (to provide maximum detection range capability against nose aspect targets), range-while-search (to detect all-aspect targets), track-while-scan (which, when combined with an autonomous missile such as AIM-120, gives the aircraft a ...

  8. Track-before-detect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track-before-detect

    In radar technology and similar fields, track-before-detect (TBD) is a concept according to which a signal is tracked before declaring it a target. In this approach, the sensor data about a tentative target are integrated over time and may yield detection in cases when signals from any particular time instance are too weak against clutter (low signal-to-noise ratio) to register a detected target.

  9. AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/MPQ-64_Sentinel

    The antenna uses phase-frequency electronic scanning technology, forming sharp 3D pencil beams covering large surveillance and track volume. It uses a rotating platform with a high scan rate (30 RPM) to provide 360 degree coverage. The radar is designed with high resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM) and anti-radiation missiles (ARM). [1]
