SIGNATURE SOLUTIONS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: A18-005

Description

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 a technical approach for dynamic and continuous sampling, correction, and implementation of near-field effects at the phase history level of target models and resultant I&Q signature data. The proposed approach and solution is applicable to existing and new signature data collections and target model developments and provides a generic implementation for scene generator applications. Current research advances established Phase I algorithms, provides methodology and data for validation, and demonstrates initial capability in an existing CCDC AvMC scene generation system.
