Abstract
A multi-beam frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system designed for short range (<20 km) operation in a high-density threat environment against highly maneuverable threats. The multi-beam FMCW system is capable of providing continuous updates, both search and track, for an entire hemisphere against short-range targets. The multi-beam aspect is used to cover the entire field of regard, whereas the FMCW aspect is used to achieve resolution at a significantly reduced computational effort.
