Research abstract
Advanced ESM signal processors are required to solve critical radar emitter ID problems, which are complicated by complex linear chirp frequency codes, non-linear frequency codes and phase coded radar waveforms and high density radar emitter environments and further compounded by modern radar WARM waveforms. New radar emitter ID algorithms will be developed, evaluated and demonstrated to handle these modern radar waveform problems, and retain the fundamental or existing ALR-76 system capability of handling simple radar emitter identifications. SigPro Systems will use new ESM signatures or parameters, which have demonstrted key properties; such as, unique to an emitter, robust with S/N ratio variations and other parameter variations and stable over time. These new ESM signtures will be signal processed using, a modified version of, SigPro's powerful feature extraction algorithm. These feature sets will be processed with an advanced identification Processor for ESM emitter ID.
