APPLICATION OF SPACE-TIME ADAPTIVE SIGNAL PROCESSING IN RADIOLOCATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
We are currently witnessing a war in Ukraine and in Israel. Analyzing the modus operandi of the warring parties, it should be strongly emphasized that gaining an information advantage on the modern battlefield is a major factor in achieving success in a planned and subsequently conducted military operation. The use of radio-electronic systems, such as radar, for searching, tracking, intercepting and analyzing data from the surrounding reality provides such an opportunity, allowing to assess the potential of the opponent, and often to predict and anticipate his intention, thus ensuring the effective realization of one's own goals. In addition, by equipping radar with state-of-the-art signal processing techniques, the above becomes possible. One of the most modern techniques used in radiolocation is space-time adaptive signal processing technology. The purpose of this article was to analyze space-time adaptive signal processing technology as applied to an airborne radar mounted on a flying platform. The authors applied an analysis of the available literature and carried out computer simulations. In conclusion, the important role played by space-time adaptive signal processing of radar signals on today's battlefield was pointed out.
