Dynamic Near-Field Simulation and Signature Prediction

High fidelity scene generators utilize radar target models over the entire flight profile of a weapon system or sensor under test.  As such, radar signatures generated from these models must encompass the entire simulation flight path to include a continuum of engagement conditions ranging from the far-field to very near-field.  Signature Solutions, Inc. proposes effort to demonstrate dynamic near-field transforms with target I&Q data for application to a radar fuze simulation.  In addition, proposed research extends capabilities of a new, near-field enabled, full wave solver to support real-world target model data requirements for development, implementation, and validation within scene generation systems.
