Research abstract
Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. proposes to develop and demonstrate an innovative compact, man-portable, ruggedized software-defined Doppler RADAR system for the measurement of atmospheric winds and adverse weather features (e.g. thunderstorms, cloud fronts, etc) that will have advanced characteristics such as adjustable RF waveforms allowing for versatile radar adaptability.We will develop an initial design of the proposed miniature, software-defined MPDR system concept.Detailed algorithms for radar signal generation and processing will be evaluated, using a combination of real data and high fidelity simulation for effectiveness in wind and aerosol/cloud detection under various atmospheric conditions.Results will be documented.Strengths and deficiencies will be clearly identified.The preliminary design will be configured with optimized performance and ready to be implemented in hardware during Phase II.The man-portable design goals are for the overall system to weigh less than 20Kg and have a volume less than 30L.The system will be designed to be capable of measuring atmospheric winds to 10km with adverse weather detected at 15km
