There is provided a processor-based method of identifying an airborne object, the method comprising: obtaining a series of target Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements of an airborne object, with associated aspect angles of the airborne object relative to a measuring radar; calculating at least one estimation of a candidate aircraft RCS time series in accordance with the series of target aspect angles, a candidate aircraft type, and at least one candidate aircraft body orientation; and determining an identification of the airborne object with an aircraft type, in accordance with the estimations of a candidate aircraft RCS time series, and the series of target RCS measurements.

System and method for identification of an airborne object

A method and system are presented for managing operation of a conformal phased-array antenna. The method comprises: providing structural data about the antenna to be operated, said structural data comprising data indicative of a geometry of a curved radiating surface defined by an arrangement of N antenna elements of the phased array and data indicative of said arrangement of N antenna elements; utilizing input data indicative of a selected direction of antenna operation and processing said structural data about the antenna, said processing comprising determining operational data for each of the antenna elements defining a desired radiation pattern of the antenna for said selected direction, said operational data comprising amplitude, phase and polarization of radiation for each antenna element.
