Abstract
Traditional multi-pass radar techniques are not suitable for missions in which the aerial platform both identifies and prosecutes the target at termination of a single pass. A single pass method running a Barankin Estimator provides target height and variance for 3D target imaging that is suitable for war fighters, missiles, UAV, and other aerial platforms capable of nonlinear flight paths.
