Description
RDRTec proposes to design, develop, and demonstrate feasibility and benefit of adding automatic threat and friendly radar waveform detection techniques to the Common RAdar Collision Avoidance System (C-RACAS). C-RACAS is designated the AN/ZPY-9 and is a part of the future Triton Integrated Functional Capability (IFC) 5 configuration. The C-RACAS has three C-Band Active Element Scanned Array (AESA) antenna systems that provide coverage over the forward regions of Triton (Figure 1). RDRTec is working with Azure Summit who is building both the C-RACAS radar receivers and Triton’s Multi-Int Receivers.The tight coupling of the C-RACAS radar controller with ESM processing provides a new opportunity to add spectrum compatibility between C-RACAS and friendly ground radars. Real-time sensed friendly radar parameters are used to adaptively modify C-RACAS beamsteering and waveforms so as not to interfere with vulnerable waveforms of friendly radars.
