Research abstract
MARK Resources has developed a sophisticated signal processing technology that iscapable of extracting detailed information from radar imagery about the target andits motion. The distinguishing feature of this technology is the use of the phasethat is inherent in a high-resolution image, but which is routinely discarded. Thisinformation has proven to be critical for reliable discrimination and identificationin many applications. We are proposing to demonstrate how this new technology canbe applied to the problems associated with ballistic missile defense, and to whatdegree radar performance can be improved in this application.Although target discrimination by radar is primarily a military application, thebasic signal processing technology is applicable in all situations where detailsabout man-made objects are to be obtained remotely by a sensor, and fordiscriminating one type of scatterer from another.
