Research abstract
This proposal presents A Platform Agnostic Low SWaP-C Chirped LFMCW Radar for counter-UAS application. The radar utilizes IFT’s unique gated radar structure to reduce transmission carrier leakage into the receiver channel and minimize the oscillator phase noise influence on the target signal. In addition, the digital signal processing provides high processing gain. These enable the radar to achieve 4 times more range than normal radar could do with the same output power. The IFT radar system is capable of detecting most group 1 UAV at 1 kilometer distance and group 2 at 1 mile. It can also identify the distance with high resolution as well as signal direction of arrival. IFT designed two different radar configurations. A fixed narrow beam radar system has low weight and size. It is suitable for a small group 1 UAV application. A 360° azimuth coverage radar is slightly larger and it can be easily deployed on a group 2 UAV,
