Summary / Abstract (Note) | During the Second World War, the nascent science of RADAR was chiefly concerned with the fixed wing aircraft threat. Over 60 years later, today's air surveillance radars have to keep watch not only fro planes but for helicopters, UAVs cruise missiles, and precision guided munitions. These radars have to be sufficiently robust and provide a low probability of intercept (LPI) to frustrate signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection, and Anti Radiation Missiles (ARMs). |
