RADAR Systems - Tracking
Target plotting and tracking for specific user needs:
- tracking of surface targets
- tracking of maneuvering air targets
Target plotting and tracking is developed for user-specific case, e. g., older radar systems without appropriate target tracker, or to expand functionality of the existing radar system. Basically, it consists of CFAR (Constant False Alarm Ratio) processing followed by the target plotting and tracking.
Raw video undergoes CFAR processing, after which binary (digitized) and CFAR video is available. Depending on user needs, filters for tracking surface and high-speed air targets are developed.
