The U.S. military collaborates with various commands and the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense to test and evaluate anti-unmanned aircraft projects. The Department of Defense plans to invest at least $668 million in counter-unmanned aircraft systems (
Drone detection radar systems adhere to fundamental radar principles, with the X-band radar band being the most widely used. Micro-Doppler analysis combined with kinetic features is the primary basis for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) of drones. These radar systems
In a realistic scenario, drone detection radar must be able to distinguish drone signals from background clutter. Most small drones operate at low altitudes, so adjusting the radar's elevation angle to mitigate ground clutter may result in overlooking potential targets. Drone detection radar primarily
The scattering of a target can be categorized into three regions: the Rayleigh region, the resonance region, and the optical region. Radar echoes from these regions provide valuable information for automatic target recognition (ATR) purposes. Different scattering regions require distinct A
Drone detection radar relies on various features for target recognition, including kinetic features, range profiles, micro-Doppler signatures, and natural frequencies. Kinetic features involve analyzing the target's speed and trajectory through Doppler measurements. Range profiles use template matching
Utilizing the scattering polar theory in the resonance region with the "poles" theory is important, but there is a lack of clarity surrounding the scattering mechanism. Micro-Doppler signatures are modulated by two sinusoidal functions and are dependent on observation
The radar equation is fundamental to radar design and states that smaller targets with lower RCS values have lower SNRs and reduced detection ranges. Drone detection radar systems should be guided by the ATR method, which has two approaches: kinetic features and signal signatures.
The choice of wavelength is important for drone detection radar, as it affects the scattering characteristics of the target. Transmitted radar parameters, such as dwell time and sampling rate, play a crucial role in enhancing detection and classification capabilities. The tracking strategy must be
Our radar system, equipped with Dynamic Signal-to-Clutter Ratio (DSCR) detector, can detect small drones with RCS levels from 0.01 to 0.1 m^2 up to 12 km away. Using phased-array technology
The ATR function plays a crucial role in enhancing the situational awareness of radar systems. By recognizing target attributes, it can effectively correlate with tracking information, providing comprehensive situational awareness in the radar monitoring area. The classify-while-scan (C
