Abstract
An ultra-wideband (UWB) radar imaging system is carried by a mobile platform—such as an aircraft—the UWB radar imaging system including multiple UWB radar sensors; the UWB radar sensors transmitting a high resolution radar signal using an array of power amplifiers and corresponding polarizing antenna arrays to form spatial power combining and beam forming from each UWB radar sensor; and receiving reflections using an array of low noise amplifiers and corresponding antenna arrays to form spatial power combining from the reflections at each. UWB radar sensor; processing the radar sensor data from the UWB radar sensors by an imaging processor for detecting a ballistic projectile; and providing trajectory information of a detected ballistic projectile on a display. Trajectory modeling enables fusing the radar sensor data with optical or thermal imaging data and the trajectory information to display a probable source location of the detected ballistic projectile.
