The High Power <strong>Radar</strong> System TIRA<br />
The TIRA system (photo montage)<br />
The <strong>Tracking</strong> & <strong>Imaging</strong> <strong>Radar</strong> (TIRA) system serves as <strong>the</strong> central experimental facility <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
development <strong>and</strong> investigation <strong>of</strong> radar techniques <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> detection <strong>and</strong> reconnaissance <strong>of</strong> objects in<br />
space, <strong>and</strong> to a certain degree also <strong>of</strong> air targets. <strong>Radar</strong> techniques, suited to space reconnaissance, are<br />
required <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> verification <strong>of</strong> orbital systems, <strong>the</strong> assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> orbital debris situation <strong>and</strong> its<br />
physical characterisation as well as <strong>for</strong> risk assessment <strong>of</strong> reentering satellites.<br />
The neccessary reconnaissance capabilities are established through high resolution in range <strong>and</strong><br />
Doppler frequency, by radar image generation <strong>and</strong> interpretation, polarimetric techniques, <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
Specific problems in <strong>the</strong> signal processing are <strong>of</strong>ten caused by extreme target ranges, complex intrinsic<br />
target motion, <strong>and</strong> generally by insufficient models describing <strong>the</strong> scattering behaviour <strong>of</strong> targets.
