Radar Innovation Challenges
From technology breakthroughs to customer added value: an industrial viewpoint
Rene de Jongh, Thales Nederland B.V.
In the last 10 years strong changes have occurred on customer needs for radar sensors. These needs are driven by
military operations that are taking place in highly complex operating environments and which are evolving over time.
At the same time major technology breakthroughs have been made that impact radar system design. The most
noticeable are the increasing level of miniaturization in RF electronics enabling Active Electronically Scanned Arrays
(AESA), high speed signal and data processing hardware and the introduction of new advanced algorithms that improve
detection, classification and tracking of targets.
The key challenge is to connect these technological breakthroughs to real operational added value. Objective of this
paper is to address this challenge. Customer added value will be shown by using real life examples. Furthermore, an
outlook will be presented to future steps in radar technologies and associated operational benefits

Noise Radar Systems
Organizer:
Prof. Krzysztof Kulpa, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland
Abstract
For a long time the use of different waveforms for radar applications
have been studied. First radars used short pulses, but high peak
power – up to megawatts. The development of signal processing
lead to more advanced waveforms. To decrease the peak power the
concept of continuous wave radar was introduced and nowadays
there are many FMCW radars using linear frequency modulation
and low power. FMCW radars with linear modulation are very
popular, because after the homodyne receiver the signal processing
is based on FFT and it is possible to achieve high range resolution
with low sampling rate and low computational power.
At the computational power is no longer the main limitation in
radar technology, a lot of new ideas and different radar concept is
being investigated. While one of the main disadvantage of classical
radars is range and velocity ambiguity related to repetition of
transmitted waveform, the scientist are looking for non-periodical
waveforms with desired properties. One of such waveforms is
random or pseudo-random signal, similar to white noise.
The first investigations on applying noise signals for radar purpose
are dated from the half of XX century, but the research sped up
in the last decade. A radar using noise waveform is free from
ambiguities, and due to continuous illumination of targets it can
be used both for detection and target imaging using SAR and
ISAR concept. Very low power density of emitted noise signals
contributes to LPI nature of such radars and even if detected are
difficult to identify.
During the workshop the scientists from Italy, Ukraine and Poland
will deliver their new results in this emerging field of knowledge.
The attendees may learn a lot about this new radar technology
and discuss problems with the researchers working currently in the
novel area of radar technology.
The presentation will start with introduction to Noise Radar
Technology with an overview of the basic ideas, problems and
achievements. The second talk will be dedicated to target imaging
using noise radar and will be held by prof. Lukin who started the
Noise Radar Technology conferences in 2002. The third presentation
will go deeply into signal processing describing cross-ambiguity
function modification for target detection, the CLEAN algorithms
to reduce masking effects end sparse sensing to improve the
target imaging for non-cooperative target recognition. The final
presentation will be focused on modern MIMO radars using
noise and noise-like waveform to increase radar sensitivity and
functionality. The presentation will highlight the concept of MIMO
radars, show different waveforms used in such systems and finally
show how to design noise waveforms for MIMO radar.

Recent Developments in Phased Array Radar
Abstract
This workshop gives an overview of the latest developments and
applications of phased array radar systems and technology by
leading experts from research establishments and industry.
In the naval domain, Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA)
technology supports capabilities such as Anti-Air Warfare and
Ballistic Missile Defence, and provides strong benefits for the
design of the ship’s superstructure and overall life cycle cost.
In the MPAR programme, radar technology is developed that
supports both weather and primary aircraft surveillance. Key
technology challenges include low cost dual polarized active phased
array panels, and overlapped digital sub-array architecture.
Radar imaging and GMTI capabilities of the airborne multifunction
system PAMIR will be described. An overview is given of an L-band
digital receive array demonstrator, developed for the ESA Space
Situational Awareness (SSA) programme, with digitization at
carrier frequency and real-time multi-beam forming.
Recent technology developments pave the way for the coming
generations of airborne multifunction RF systems with AESA
including both radar and EW functions. Radiating elements,
electronics (GaN/SiGe MMIC, MEMS), packaging, cooling, and
array topology will be discussed.
Coherent co-located MIMO phased array radar uses several
waveform generators to transmit orthogonal codes simultaneously.
The benefits and properties of coherent MIMO radar will be
presented, and experimental results gathered with a coherent
MIMO phased array.
State-of-the-art phased array technology for spaceborne SAR will
be discussed and digital beam forming for the next generation of
SAR systems will be explored. Reflector-based e-scan antennas will
be presented which form a good compromise in complexity and
flexibility for SAR systems requiring very high gain antennas.
Phased arrays for ESM and ECM applications will be presented
includingT/R-module and Rotman lens designs, MEMS components
in phased array radar, sparse array architectures for 3D-SAR
applications, and measurements of a 210 GHz FMCW imaging
radar system for person scanner experiments.
LOFAR is the first of the new generation of radio telescopes with
40.000 antennas spread over 6 European countries. SKA will
explore the Universe with phased array systems that are orders of
magnitude more powerful than LOFAR.

Advances in radar techniques for measuring extreme events in urban environments
Organizers:
H. W. J. Russchenberg, Director TU-Delft Climate Institute
Abstract
There is a world trend for large urban areas. Strong or lengthy
precipitation in urban environments may seriously perturb the daily
life of the citizens. It is therefore important to have an accurate
monitoring of precipitation with high spatial and time resolution.
For this purpose, large cities like Rotterdam are willing to invest in
polarimetric X-band weather radar to complement the long range
national weather radars operating at lower frequencies.
In this workshop, state-of-the-art radar techniques to process
weather radar data and retrieve relevant parameters to quantify
the precipitation are presented. The precipitation measurements
and retrievals necessary for hydrology and water management will
be discussed.

Abstract
The capabilities of modern military multifunction/multi-mission/
multi-role radars cannot be fully realized by using older sensor
control strategies, due to the advance in radar technology and
the complexity of the tactical environment and threats. The most
obvious radar management imperative is the real-time optimization
of available resource to meet the changing operational mission,
according to an assessment of the current environment conditions
and tactical requests from an external center.
The objective of the Short Course is to present:
Main principles of Intelligent Radar Resources Management;
Survey of Strategies for Radar Time Budget Regulation;
Algorithms for threat assessment, dynamic dwell priority allocation,
real-time dwell planning/scheduling, Load Handling/Control,…
New advanced tools for Radar Resources Management Simulation

Cognitive Radar Resources Management
Organizers:

Chris Baker, Ohio State University, USA
Alexander Charlish, FKIE, Germany
Abstract
Radar Sensors are now more and more integrated in complex
systems and information systems. This trend aims at implementing
more coherent, efficient, and reactive processes. Nevertheless,
their development involves suitable evolutions in radar resources
management concepts. On one hand, disparate data have to be
efficiently managed from the observation to the decision level,
taking into account all their specificities. On the other hand,
information has to be obtained through a dynamical process of
resource management, such that the whole system provides the
best fitting with needs, environment and context. Obviously system
design and control are major problems in term of autonomy of
radar sensors and interactions between them, and they need
individual and collective behavior optimization.
This workshop deals with Dynamic Multifunction and Multi-mission
Radar Resources Management (RRM), consisting in waveforms and
dwells space-time resources allocation and scheduling, for better
adaptation to the environment and to tactical situations/threats.
To optimize the Radar Time Budget, the RRM shares and allocates
resources between functions (Search, Confirmation, Active Track,
Re-Acquisition, NCTR…) taking into account simultaneously time
constraints and priority constraints to find the optimal use of radar
capability in an autonomous or collaborative way of functioning.
The purpose of the workshop is to build a prospective view
of this particularly large but emergent thematic, considering
methodological aspects as well as application potential for ground,
naval and airborne platforms.

MOSARIM - MOre Safety for All by Radar Interference Mitigation
Abstract
Since several years millimeter-wave radar systems are used for
vehicular applications, predominantly for comfort functions and
steadily increasing today also for safety applications. Different
carrier frequencies, modulation schemes, emission powers and
radiation patterns are used. Within the next years the penetration
rate of vehicular radar systems in this emerging market will
increase drastically. Especially for safety-related applications
possible interference might threaten further proliferation if function
limitations should occur.
Within the MOSARIM project, the state-of-the-art situation has
been analyzed and scenarios for worst-case situations have been
defined. A simulation framework has been developed and verified
by means of practical laboratory and road test results.
Various mitigation techniques have been implemented and tested
within already existing sensors.
Finally, all results have been evaluated and guidelines and
recommendations have been derived for consideration to be
implemented in future sensor versions.
In this workshop the obtained results of will be presented.
