An information theoretic method for testing and/or validating the suitability of a multi-radar signature database to be used on radar systems having automatic target recognition. The database may include measured data and/or modeled synthetic data. The technique allows measured data to be compared to the synthetic data using modal mutual information. The present invention further includes an information theoretic method for real time calculation of automatic target recognition using modal mutual information calculation.

Radar signature database validation for automatic target recognition

A method for testing and/or validating the suitability of a multi-radar signature database to be used on radar systems having automatic target recognition. The database may include measured field data and/or modeled synthetic data. The technique allows field data to be compared to the synthetic data using modal mutual information.

A position-adaptive radar method and device for small UAV platforms capable of detecting 'leakage signals' that, for example, propagate between two buildings or 'leak through' penetrable surfaces such as walls or layers of the ground. The position-adaptive radar comprises a monostatic radar receiver that measures and processes leakage signals and then &#x201c;self adapts&#x201d; in position to establish line-of-sight between a mini-UAV platform and an obscuration channel that propagates the leakage signal. This allows a mini-UAV platform to process signals in real-time while gathering intelligence information and locating objects-of-interest that may be embedded within an obscuration channel.
