Current low-altitude radar system often fails to detect small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) because of their small radar cross section (RCS) compared with larger targets. As a potential alternative, a passive bistatic radar system has been considered. We study an optimal deployment problem for the passive bistatic radar system. We model this problem as a covering problem, and develop an integer programming model. The objective of the model is to maximize coverage of a passive bistatic radar system. Our model takes into account factors specific to a bistatic radar system, including bistatic RCS and transmitter-receiver pair coverage. Considering bistatic RCS instead of constant RCS is important because the slight difference of RCS value for small UAVs could significantly influence the detection probability. The paired radar coverage is defined by using the concept of gradual coverage and cooperative coverage to represent a realistic environment.

Collision avoidance is the most important part of a small vessel. Small and mediurn sized ships are surprisingly poor targets for radar reflection and are frequently in danger of being overrun by large vessels, even under good condition of visibility. One of the best way to prevent collisions at sea is to use as large and well designed a radar reflector. Thus, RCS(Radar Cross Section) increase is key element in the design of radar reflector. Radar Reflectors are normally classified into active-type and passive-type. In this paper, the RCS increase methods for passive-type reflector through shaping are explained, and analyzed with RCS performance test by computer simulation. As results from analysis, It is shown that the effective diameter of radar reflector is over 10 λ to provide a return above the threshold RCS of 25m$^2$, lower limit of detectability using X-band radar in a moderate sea.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of an FM radio based passive radar in the presence of deception jamming such as false-target generation. To do this, we examine the effects of applying the deception jamming signal to the passive radar through the derivation of the construction of the amplitude-range-Doppler(ARD) plot. The analysis results show that applying the deception jamming signal with the low power similar to the target echo signal generates false targets at positions set by the jamming variables compared to the real target position in the ARD plot. Also, it is possible to induce the jamming effect so that only false targets are detected by selecting appropriate jamming power. Simulations are included to verify the theoretical results and to discuss on the effectiveness of the deception jamming on the FM radio based passive radar.

This paper describes design method of Passive-type Radar Reflector (PRR) which is to provide the requirement of newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations on the Radar Reflector. The main target of this work is to find the optimum shape of a radar target having large Radar Cross Section (RCS). Through the RCS analysis based on the theoretical approach, two kinds of PRR models, RRR-F model for use in fisheries and PRR-S model for use in small sized ship, are designed and discussed their RCS performance. RCS measurement tests for the various sized samples are carried out in an anechoic chamber. As evaluation results it was clearly shown that the conventional sphere-type shows optimum shape in case of PRR-S, while the cylinder-type which consists of large sized corner clusters or zig-zag flat plats gives best performance in case of PRR-F.

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 레이더 타겟들에 대한 레이더 유효면적(RCS)을 측정하고, 그들의 성능특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 상용레이더 리프렉터의 구조적 특징을 검토하였다. 그리고, 수동형 레이더 리프렉터의 최적 설계조건을 선택했다. 연구결과, X-band($\lambda$=3.2cm에서 10λ 크기의 원형 평판으로 구성된 옥타헤데랄 형태의 레이더 리프렉터가 최적 성능을 나타냈다. 그러나, 새로 적용될 2000 SOLAS 규정을 수용하기 위해서는 X-band 와 S-band 모두에 적용하기 위해서 더 큰 크기의 원형평판이 필요하다.

이 논문에서는 새로 개정된 2000 SOLAS 규정에 근거하여 소형선박용 수동식 레이더 리프렉터(PRR-S) 설계에 관해서 기술했다. 이 연구의 설계개념은 PRR-S이 선박요동에 의해서 레이더 반사면적(RCS)이 변동하는 것을 방지하기 위하여 ‘catch rain’ 위치를 유지하도록 한 것이다. PRR-S은 원형판으로 구성한 옥타헤더럴 레이더 리프렉터와 요동방지를 위한 짐발장치로 구성하였다. 설계한 PRR-S는 전파흡수실에서 성능실험을 하였다. 실험결과, 기준으로 정한 Davis Echomaster사의 리프렉터 보다 설계한 PRR-S이 높은 RCS를 나타냈다.

The survivability of a naval ship is the ability of the ship and its onboard systems to remain functional and continue a designated mission in man-made hostile environments. A passive decoy system is primarily used as a weapon system for improving the survivability of a naval ship. In this study, an engagement scenario-based simulation program was developed for decoy effectiveness assessments against an anti-ship missile (ASM), which tracks a target with sea-skimming and active radar homing. The program can explain the characteristics of a target ship, such as the radar cross section and evasive maneuvers, as well as the operational performance of the onboard decoy system, the guidance method of the ASM, and the engagement environment's wind speed and direction. This paper describes the theory and formulations, configuration, and user interface of the developed program. Numerical examples of a decoy effect assessment of a virtual naval ship against an ASM are presented.

PLA(Passive Linear Array) system has been primarily utilized to detect and track underwater targets, such as submarines. This system has difficulty in distinguishing between underwater targets and surface ships in a dense target environment. And a single-PLA system does not provide target state observability. At least two PLAs are necessary to observe a track uniquely. To classify and localize the underwater targets effectively, first of all, it is very of importance to discriminate the surface ships in the multi-target environment. These problems can be overcome by the association of distributed PLAs and radars. In this paper, we present an algorithm to solve the track-to-track association of the heterogeneous data from three PLAs and one radar are noncollocated with known sensor positions. Also, this paper shows the simulation results to verify the proposed algorithm.
