Abstract

When a radar tracks the warhead of a ballistic missile, decoys of a ballistic missile put a heavy burden on the radar resource management tracking the targets. To reduce this burden, it is necessary to be able to separate the signal of the warhead from the received dynamic radar cross section (RCS) signal on the radar. In this paper, we propose the method of separating the dynamic RCS of each target from the received signal by the Hough transform which extracts straight lines from the image. The micro motion of the targets was implemented using a 3D CAD model of the warhead and decoys. Then, we calculated the dynamic RCS from the 3D CAD model having micromotion and verified the performance by applying the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can separate the signals of the warhead and decoys at the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10dB.

레이더를 사용하여 탄도 미사일의 기두부를 추적할 때, 표적의 주변에 있는 각종 기만체들은 표적을 추적하는 레이더의 자원 관리에 큰 부담을 준다. 이러한 부담을 줄이기 위해서 레이더에 수신된 동적 RCS 신호로부터 탄도 미사일 기두부의 신호를 분리할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이미지에서 직선을 추출하는 알고리즘인 허프 변환 방법을 이용하여, 레이더에 수신된 신호로부터 각각의 표적들의 동적 RCS를 분리하는 방법을 제안한다. 기두부와 기만체의 3차원 CAD 모델을 사용하여 표적들의 미세거동을 구현하였다. 또한 미세거동을 가지는 3차원 CAD로부터 표적의 동적 RCS를 계산하고 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 방법은 SNR이 10dB에서 미사일 기두부와 기만체의 신호를 분리할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
