Abstract
A multi-faced radar system illuminates a common area of space by radiating a first signal at a first frequency from a first antenna face and a second signal at a second frequency from a second antenna face and cooperatively processes the first and second signal returns on the first and second antenna faces. A processor combines first signal energy from the first and second faces and combines second signal energy from the first and second faces. The processor then combines the aggregate first and second signal returns. The cooperative processing of the first and second signals on the first and second antenna faces increases signal sensitivity and dramatically reduces the time on target required for relatively high scan angles,
