The beam direction of the 3-D phase array ship-borne radar is changed according to ship motion such as a pitch and roll variation. To align beam direction, under this circumstance, mechanical or electronic stabilization should be adopted. Considering weight and volume of radar, method of electronic stabilization is recommended. In this paper, method of electronic stabilization is proposed and the results are shown by computer simulation.

Intelligent radar sensors are applied in many industries, such as the automobile, aerospace, and defense industries (for security and surveillance), and for traffic monitoring and management as well as environmental and weather monitoring. Furthermore, they are used in smart cities, homes, and buildings, wherein intelligent motion sensing is required in daily life. It is mentioned that it is being used. In addition, ETRI introduces a phased array-based intelligent radar for drone detection and a human name detection radar technology based on which humans can be detected in case of a disaster.

Active electronically scanning antennas are faster and more flexible in beam-scheduling than mechanical antennas. Thus, they require an advanced resource management or detection methods to operate efficiently. In a surveillance radar performing periodic detection, alert-confirm detection is an excellent method to improve the cumulative detection probability by reducing the period while maintaining the detection probability. This paper proposes a design method for alert-confirm detection based on the parameters of the conventional design. We developed a simulator based on simulink@matworks and verified the result through Monte Carlo simulation.

Surveillance is an enabler of safety with respect to aircraft separation and as a consequence capacity and efficiency with respect to aircraft operations. The new emerging technology among modern civil aviation surveillance is Multilateration (MLAT) which would affect on the surveillance capacity with both side of surveillance signal and operational properties. Multilateration system is needed to receive the signal which must reach at least 3 ground receivers simultaneously and has the effect that will have on with the ultimate accuracy. In this paper, the principle and the system configuration are reviewed. And its benefit of development is considered with use in situations where it is difficult to locate tranditional radar. This MLAT requires no additional avionics equipment to supply service with more accurate and less expensive. And it is able to enhance performance that meets international standards and extend the investment of air navigation service providers with reducing environmental impact by utilizing a small footprint on existing structures. Finally, it can be added to meet a wide range of coverage requirements and future surveillance needs.

It is necessary to establish wide integrated surveillance system of marine territory to reduce damage caused by maritime security threats, marine pollution and accidents for safe and clean marine use and efficient development of marine resources. For marine surveillance, the information characteristics of space-time specific, accuracy and operability are required, and real-time information about the wide area should be provided at all times. This special issue has been published to identify the characteristics of each platform, evaluate its usability for the establishment of a wide integrated surveillance system, and present the direction for future convergence studies between platforms. Since 2015, KIOST and cooperative research team have been performing the project, "Base research for building wide integrated surveillance system of marine territory using multi-platform" that detect vessels and red tide etc. near real time by using satellite, UAV and HF Ocean Radar. The objective of this special issue is to introduce the significance for an integrated system for maritime surveillance and to create a forum for discussion on recent advances in remote sensing technology and applications for marine disasters, pollution, and accident surveillance.

We propose a surveillance-alert system based on optimal placements of PDR(Pulsed Doppler Radar) sensors in USN. By using the detection information of moving target from PDR sensor and by considering the covered detection region and geographical property of the strategic area, three optimal placements of sensors are proposed. The proposed placement are named as the grid type, the linear type and the zigzag type. Also, the surveillance alert system based on three sensor placements are developed. The alert level of the proposed surveillance-alert system are 'Perception', 'Caution', 'Warning' and 'Danger' which are decided by the distance change between the moving targets and the command post. The performace of the developed system is verified via outdoor experiments.

The optimum solutions of the instability of the target velocity were studied to solve the case of the target velocity of the ship approaching at a speed of ◯◯knots and deviated by more than ± 10knots, while the surveillance radar rotating speed was varied, while the maximum search range of the radar was evaluated during the operational test & evaluation. The instability of the target velocity did not enable the radar to calculate the information of the target precisely and to degrade the probability of hit and the quality of the target management. The improvement to handle the deviation of the target velocity was optimally determined by using a fishbone diagram to find 9 reasons based on 4M1E, and the algorithm of the target management was identified as the crucial reason. In this study, the improvement was applied to the filter algorithm to stabilize the target velocity in the target tracking management SW by reviewing the current algorithm to find the velocity of the target and recognizing that the problem does not apply to different 𝜶, 𝞫 values when the antenna changed the rotating speed. The ability of the improvement to work was tested on board.

In this paper, we have implemented an FMCW radar for a near distance measurement. In the structure of the FMCW radar, it is a key problem to solve the VCO nonlinearity. In this work, we have adopted a VCO nonlinearity compensation algorithm using the spectrum correlation of beat signals. The radar experimented in this work uses an X-band(9.55~10.25GHz) microwave signal, and realizes precision of 3% in the range of 30m. The prototype can be applied to the front surveillance radar such as in vehicle anti-collision and probing robot mission.

This paper deals with ground clutter model for FOD (foreign object debris) surveillance FMCW (frequency modulated continuous waveform) radar. In the FOD surveillance radar, it has received not only the signals reflected by FOD, but also the clutters of the surface of the runway and the grassland simultaneously. However, to detect the FOD, the clutter rejection algorithm is necessary because the RCS (radar cross section) of FOD is nearly same to RCS of the grassland. In addition, it is difficult to apply the MTI (moving target indicator) algorithm as the clutter rejection algorithm because both the FOD and the clutter coexist stationarily. Hence, to remove the stationary clutter, it is crucial to accurately generate clutter map considering the surface of road. In this paper, in order to generate the clutter map, the respective beat signal at every range bin is generated in the case of only the surface without FOD, and then the beat signal accumulated 100 times. And also, Weibull distribution is applied to the RCS value to take the scattering distribution of clutter into consideration. The simulation results show that FOD can be well detected by applying the generated clutter map to the FOD FMCW radar.

As a sub-system of an air traffic control system, SDP(Surveillance Data Processor) provides with the system tracks of aircraft using the surveillance sensor data from various air traffic surveillance sensors, such as radars. Therefore, the high accuracy of tracking results is a crucial requirement for safe flights, and verification of the required system performance of SDP is an essential step in development. Moreover, the quantitative evaluation of target tracking accuracy is important for newly developed SDP, since there are several tracking methods for Multi-Sensor Multi-Target Tracking, such as MRT(Multi Radar Tracking), inevitably required as the main function of SDP. In this study, definition of required system performances, establishment of test environment, and test results for MRT performance evaluation of SDP, which is being developed in KARI(Korea Airspace Research Institute) are presented.
