Single Channel Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI)

CAE Soft Corporation proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of an innovative approach to simultaneous detect, track and geo-locate both moving and stationary targets in a manner that can be readily implemented in the single channel APS-137 radar.TheSingle Channel Moving Target Indication (SC-MTI) mode when used simultaneous with the SAR mode will provide the APS-137 the ability to continuously and simultaneously detect, maintain track, and geo-locate ground moving as well as stationary targets thoughall phases of their movement history. This ability to continuously track Ground Moving Targets (GMTs) that repeatedly move, stop, and move in a dense moving object environment would significantly improve the APS-137's capability in the critical areas ofdominance in the military theater and tracking and targeting of time critical targets. The anticipated benefits are the development of a specific Single Channel GMTI mode but the methodology of the development will extend to both military and commercialapplications. Potential civilian applications include airport surveillance radars and multi-function radars for commercial aviation that simultaneously perform wind shear detection and landing assistance displays as well as remote sensing for earthresources. The most applicable for this technique if for earth resources remote sensing function which requires the removal of stationary and moving man-made objects from the data so that the background soils and crops can be examined.
