Abstract:
1. 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.
