Mechanisms for identifying obstacles in a landing zone are disclosed. A first polarization elevation angle matrix is generated based on reflected radar signals having a first polarization sense. A second polarization elevation angle matrix based on reflected radar signals having a second polarization sense that differs from the first polarization sense is generated. The first polarization elevation angle matrix and the second polarization elevation angle matrix are integrated to form an integrated elevation angle matrix that identifies first scatterers and second scatterers with respect to the landing zone.
