Research abstract
RDRTec Inc. propose to develop innovative methods to exploit wake signature attributes for the small boat threat classification and feature aided tracking by airborne radar systems. For small maneuvering vessels, the wake can dominate the hard body signature and the sea spikes and breaking waves induced false alarms can overload the fingerprinting and classification algorithms. This effort will seek to supplement those hard-body signatures by exploiting and merging the characteristics of boat generated wake signatures that are detectable by airborne maritime surveillance and imaging radar systems.
