Low Cost High-Resolution Radar System

"MARK Resources proposes to develop a prototype high-resolution radar to assess theperformance of missile engagements and submunition deployments. Importantapplications include accurate measurement of missile/target vector miss distance,target attitude, deployment and event timing, and damage assessment. The conceptsembodied in this radar, which will have a range resolution of one foot, areinnovative and unique, making it very affordable and fitting within the costconstraints of a Phase II SBIR program. The prototype system will be fabricatedentirely with COTS items.Radar data will be recorded during actual tests at White Sands Missile Range forpost-processing analysis. The results obtained during Phase II will define therequirements for Phase III production. MARK Resources is teamed with TechnologyService Corporation to fabricate the transmitter-receiver set, and with BAE Systemsto perform system integration and interface with the test range facilities. Thelatter effort will be performed at no cost to the Government as an investment inPhase III commercialization."
