This radar hasundergone several upgrades; the most recent (AN/PPS-5D) extends personnel detectionto 10 km and vehicle detection to 20 km [17–19]. A next-generation ground surveillanceradar developed by SRC, Inc., the SR Hawk, operates at a band <strong>of</strong> 16.21–16.50 GHz witha maximum detection range <strong>of</strong> 10 km for a single walking person and 30 km for a typicalvehicle [20]. The STS family <strong>of</strong> radars developed by ICX Technologies also <strong>of</strong>fers similarperformance, with the STS-12000 Long-Range Perimeter Surveillance <strong>Radar</strong> <strong>of</strong>fering amaximum range <strong>of</strong> 9.7 km for personnel and 12 km for vehicle detection [21–23]. Keyperformance parameters <strong>of</strong> currently available ground surveillance radars are summarizedin Table 16-1.These figures, however, represent the best possible performance <strong>of</strong> the radar, <strong>of</strong>tenunder near ideal conditions. In typical situations, human targets are easily masked byground clutter. This ground clutter is the result <strong>of</strong> strong reflections from the surrounding
