iv Welcome from the General Chair

On behalf of the RadarCon03 organizing committee, the City of Huntsville, the U.S. Army, NASA, and the hundreds of high-tech companies in this area, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Huntsville. It is my sincere hope and expectation that you will find the next few days to be a rewarding experience for you as we learn about the work being done in radar by our colleagues all over the world Bob McMillan and as we renew old friendships and Conference Chair acquaintances. In keeping with the heritage of Huntsville as a key center in the history of space exploration, the theme of this year’s meeting is Radar – Exploring the Universe. Although we haven’t yet received radar signals from outside our solar system, this year’s theme encourages us to expand our vision to include ways that radar technology can impact our society, Planet Earth, our solar system, and the universe in the 21st century through new, creative, and exciting applications. The organizing committee has planned a meeting, which will include formal high quality technical sessions, tutorials, and exhibits, as well as informal gatherings to focus on topics of interest that will expand each attendees’ knowledge and unite us in exploring new ideas of mutual interest. We continue to expand the tutorial program that has become a vital part of the conference experience in this series of meetings. This year we are offering four tutorials on Monday evening and eight on Thursday morning and afternoon. New topics this year include Radar Analysis Using MATLAB, Kalman Filters, Adaptive Beamforming, and Electromagnetic Analysis. It’s not too late to sign up for one or more of these courses. Due to generous grants from the Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation, we are once again able to provide support for students who are US citizens to attend this conference. Several students will be presenting poster papers, and I encourage all attendees to stop by the student posters area and ask questions about the excellent work they are doing so that they may be encouraged to pursue careers in radar engineering. We need their fresh ideas and insights. As in prior years, we will honor the best of our profession at our awards banquet where we will present the Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award to a young radar engineer and the annual IEEE Warren White Award for excellence in radar engineering. We will also recognize new IEEE Fellows and the IEEE Region 3 Employer Performance Development Award.

The Huntsville Section of the IEEE, the Radar Systems Panel of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS), and the IEEE Region 3 are pleased to co-sponsor the 2003 IEEE Radar Conference as part of an extremely successful series of radar conferences. The Radar Systems Panel is excited to add Huntsville, Alabama to the list of host Jim Day cities. Past conferences were held in Ann Panel Chair Arbor, Michigan; Atlanta, Georgia; Boston, Massachusetts; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, California; and Syracuse, New York. This series of conferences, in conjunction with the International Radar Conferences series, offers a robust schedule of technical interchanges in the field of radar. The Radar Systems Panel gladly accepted the proposal from Huntsville to host this year’s conference: Radar—Exploring the Universe, and the opportunity to bring together innovators, leaders, and users from various radar communities to address important issues and share the most recent advances in radar. We anticipate a packed technical program that explores the application of recent advances in digital technology implementing new radar approaches that were just analytical curiosities a few years ago. Along with these advances come new, substantially more difficult requirements. The challenge being explored in this conference is how to best apply digital technology and other advances, while identifying and developing new technologies for the future. The AESS Radar Systems Panel gratefully acknowledges the hard work by the conference committee in planning and executing this conference. We express our appreciation for the outstanding effort by the whole conference committee, led by the General Chairman, Dr. Bob McMillan, his Deputy Chairman, Dr. Reza Adhami, and the Technical Program Chairman, Dr. Kaveh Heidary. Their dedication and diligent efforts will make this conference an excellent exchange of technical information through oral presentations, poster sessions, tutorials, and exhibits, all augmented by an interesting social calendar.

7 Banquet Presentation: The Dawn of the Space Age Konrad Dannenberg The Space Age began a little more than 60 years ago on an island in the Baltic Sea, near the small village of Peenemünde. It was there that for the first time in mankind’s history, a human-built article entered outer space. This was the A4 rocket which had been built by the German Army under the leadership of Dr. Wernher von Braun, the Technical Director of that facility. The A4, which became know as Hitler’s V2 during Konrad Dannenberg its military deployment, was the first large ballistic missile, and it opened the way to today’s kind of warfare. I was fortunate enough to have been present at this history- making event, and I will talk about my impressions at that time. BIOGRAPHY Mr. Dannenberg retired from his position as Deputy Director of Program Development’s Mission and Payload Planning Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in 1973. He was working on early Space Station concepts at that time. During the next five years, he was an Associate Professor of Aviation Systems at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) in Tullahoma, TN. He is now a consultant to the Alabama Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. Mr. Dannenberg was born in Weissenfels, Germany. He gained his MS degree in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Hannover. He worked with Dr. von Braun in Peenemunde, Germany and came to the US after World War II under “Project Paperclip,” where he joined the US Army Ordinance Team in Fort Bliss, TX. Later, he helped to develop and produce the Redstone and Jupiter missile systems for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at Redstone Arsenal AL. In 1960, Dannenberg joined NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center as Deputy Manager of the Saturn Program. In this capacity, he participated in the conceptual development of the Saturn family of space boosters and received the NASA Exceptional Service Medal. Mr. Dannenberg is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and past president of the Alabama/ Mississippi Chapter of this organization. In 1990, he received the prestigious DURAND Lectureship and in 1995, the Hermann Oberth Award. He is a member of the NASA/MSFC Retirees Association, an honorary member of the Hermann Oberth Society of Germany and a charter member of the L-5 Society which is now the National Space Society (NSS). In 1992, the Alabama Space and Rocket Center established, in his honor, “The Konrad Dannenberg Scholarship” for a young person attending the Space Academy. 8 IEEE Radar Conference 2003 Awards And Presentations The Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award Awarded to the Young Engineer of the Year 2003 Recipient: Dr. James Ward, MIT Lincoln Laboratory

11 2003 Warren D. White Award for Excellence in Radar Engineering

The family of Warren D. White established this award to recognize a member of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society for major technical contributions, or a series of contributions, to the art of radar engineering. This contribution shall be evidenced to the radar community through technical papers, presentations, inventions or products. Dr. Eli Brookner Dr. Eli Brookner is uniquely qualified Raytheon Company for this award due to his significant contributions to the art and education of radar engineering. He has been a longstanding champion in promoting the use of phased array antennas for applications like ballistic missile defense, early warning, spaceborne, and airborne surveillance radars. In the 1960s, he was the lead technical systems engineer on the reentry vehicle (RV) wake measurement radar program, and was the lead systems engineer on the first radar flown aboard an RV. As one of the earliest pioneers in the field of Space Based Radars, he determined the radar architecture, signal waveforms, system block diagrams, accuracy/gain budgets, processing algorithms, clutter suppression, and ECCM features. In addition to his many professional papers and presentations, Dr. Brookner’s two major survey books, Radar Technology (1977) and Aspects of Modern Radar (1988) are widely used throughout the world as educational and reference sources. He has used these and other material on radar in a very successful series of lectures presented all over the world, where he has achieved recognition as an interpreter and apostle of modern radar technology.

12 2003 Pioneer Award For Developments in Fine Resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar From 1944 until his retirement from the Air Force Avionics Laboratory in 1977, William R. Boario coordinated and led the technical work of the Air Force in air-to-ground mapping (navigation and bombing) and imaging radars. His interest in and contractual support of technical innovations permeated the entire U.S. radar community. In particular, his Air Force William Boario technical group (and its successors) worked with and funded SAR research in the Radar and Optics Laboratory, of the Willow Run Laboratories (WRL) at the University of Michigan, and its successor the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM), from 1960 until the present. In the late 1940s, one of his colleagues at Wright Laboratory, Carl Wiley, conceived the idea of obtaining angular resolution finer than that corresponding to the beam width of an antenna by employing Doppler beam sharpening. Carl Wiley later joined the Aerospace Division of Goodyear which became and remains a leading industrial organization in SAR technology. The Air Force under Boario’s leadership sponsored radar R&D at numerous organizations; e. g., Goodyear, the University of Illinois, Philco, Airborne Instruments Laboratories (AIL), and Westinghouse. In the late 1950s, the Willow Run Laboratories flight tested, and successfully demonstrated, focused, side-looking SAR with a resolution of approximately 100 ft (in range and azimuth) at ranges of tens of miles. While that initial demonstration was sponsored by the Army, starting in 1960 the Air Force, under Boario’s leadership, became the primary sponsor of SAR technology at Michigan.

13 2003 Pioneer Award

Dr. William H. Brown received his BSEE from West Virginia University and his Doctorate of Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University. Prior to receiving his doctoral degree, he worked at the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and at the Radiation Laboratory of Johns Hopkins. He then worked for a year at the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group in the Dr. William M. Brown Pentagon, after which he became a professor (EE) at the University of Michigan (1958). At the University of Michigan, he became the head of the Radar and Optics Laboratory (1960) of the Willow Run Laboratories (WRL), and in 1970 its Director. In 1972, he founded the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) as the successor to the WRL; he was President of ERIM until 1994. In 1995, Dr. Brown became Head of ECE at the Air Force Institute of Technology, and in 2000 he became Chief Scientist of the Sensors Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory. The research organizations he has led have a remarkably strong, persistent record of major accomplishments in coherent optics, SAR, holography, multispectral and electro-optical remote sensing, automatic target recognition, and associated data and image processing technologies. A major dimension of his outstanding track record is derived from the stand Dr. Brown took in 1960: he committed the groups he led to improving the resolution of SAR by more than two orders of magnitude to 1 foot or better in both the range and crossrange dimensions. Dr. Brown was Associate Editor (Radar/Sonar), 1965-1974, and Editor-in-Chief, 1974-1988, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and Member of the National Academy of Engineering.

14 2003 Pioneer Award

Dr. Jack L. Walker received his BS degree in electrical engineering from M.I.T. in 1962 and his MS and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from The University of Michigan in 1967 and 1974, respectively. He is currently a consultant working on sensor and signal processing systems in support of various government agencies. He retired in 2000 from Veridian ERIM International after 36 years in Dr. Jack L. Walker various technical and corporate management positions – most recently serving as Vice President and Chief Scientist. During this period, his chief technical contributions were in the development of fine resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Dr. Walker joined Willow Run Laboratories at The University of Michigan in 1964, where he was working with MTI radars and later began working on SAR resolution improvement techniques in 1969. This work led to the invention of the polar format processing algorithm used in many SAR systems over the years to produce very fine resolution imagery. As part of this work, Dr. Walker also developed the theory and early designs of the spotlight mode of SAR operation that was successfully demonstrated in 1974. He continued to lead advanced SAR programs and make additional significant contributions in subsequent years. In 1996, Dr. Walker was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in recognition of his distinguished work in the development of radar systems. He received the IEEE M. Barry Carlton Award in 1981 for his paper on Range-Doppler Imaging and received the Air Force Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service in 1995.

Introduction to Radar Instructor: Dr. Stephen Gilbert, Dynetics, Inc. Monday, May 5, 2:00-6:00 p.m. Pathfinder Room Abstract Radar systems continue to play a major role in modern mili- tary defense acquisition programs such as the THAAD system with its state-of-the-art phased array radar and the National Missile Defense (NMD) system with X-Band and Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWRs). As a result, the weapons system designer must develop an appreciation for the performance capabilities that exist today, and those that are anticipated in the future. This course provides a concentrated and comprehensive treatment of the key principles of radar design and analysis so the weapons system analyst can comprehend the recent advancements in radar designs and applications. After developing the radar range equation, the course proceeds to an indepth treatment of each parameter, showing how to manipulate these terms to achieve the defense system goals. The parameters that will receive attention include radar sensitivity, antenna gain calculations, target radar cross section (RCS), thermal noise calculations, and critical system losses. The course advances to waveform design fundamentals and achieves clutter rejection including moving target indicators (MTI), pulse doppler techniques, and burst waveform weighting. The course addresses the detection process and the resolution concept and the techniques which accurately measure key parameters used to separate threatening targets from nonlethal targets. A short description of ECM/ECCM techniques is also provided. Specific examples are drawn from pertinent Missile Defense radar applications.

30 Conference Tutorial 1.4

STAP I: Introduction to Theory and Applications Instructor: Dr. Joseph R. Guerci, DARPA Thursday, May 8, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Pathfinder Room Abstract This tutorial is designed to provide a firm grounding in the theory and application of optimum and adaptive space-time processing for radar and an understanding of the key practical challenges facing real-world implementations. Assuming only a basic background in radar, electromagnetics and signal processing, the course begins with a thorough derivation and explanation of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) beginning with its origins in adaptive array and Doppler processing. Next, a survey and taxonomy is presented of popular conventional STAP algorithms and real-time processing architectures. Consideration is given to real-world factors that can have a significantly deleterious effect on performance, such as interference heterogeneity/nonstationarity, subspace leakage (i.e., internal clutter motion, nonlinear array geometries, transmitter/receiver instabilities, etc.), and channel match errors. Finally, a brief survey of current research trends to address these issues is provided. Biography Dr. Joseph R.

31 Conference Tutorial 2.1

STAP II: Advanced Techniques Instructor: Dr. J. Scott Goldstein, SAIC, and Dr. Irving S. Reed, USC Thursday, May 8, 1:00-5:00 p.m. Challenger Room Abstract The objective of the course is to present an efficient technique for the evaluation of the adaptive weights in a phased array antenna. This approach is unlike the conventional statistical techniques by eliminating the requirement of an interference covariance matrix and represents a rethinking of the entire conventional approach to adaptive processing. Thus, it provides a greater flexibility in solving a wider class of highly transient problems at the expense of a slightly reduced number of degrees of freedom. It will shown how to apply this method for the estimation of the signal in the presence of jammers, clutter and thermal noise using a non-uniform nonplanar array of antennas. The goal is also to couple the electromagnetics and the signal processing aspects of the problem so that mutual coupling between the sensors and near-field scattering can be taken into consideration. Biography Dr. J. Scott Goldstein is an Assistant Vice President at SAIC, and is also a Senior Scientist and Manager of Targeted Information Processing Solutions.

32 Conference Tutorial 2.2

Pulse Compression in Radar Systems Instructor: Dr. Marvin Cohen, GTRI Thursday, May 8, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Enterprise Room Abstract In the introduction, the principles, motivations, and terminology related to radar pulse compression are presented and discussed. The general concepts of range resolution, range sidelobes, and processing losses are developed. The lecture continues with an indepth discussion of specific pulse compression techniques. Frequency coding techniques including linear frequency modulation, nonlinear frequency modulation, stretch, and stepped frequency modulation are presented. Biphase codes such as Barker, Combined Barker, pseudorandom, minimum peak sidelobe, and Golay codes are explained and illustrated. Polyphase codes such as Welti, Frank, and P4 codes are exhibited and discussed as well. Hybrid phase and frequency codes are introduced. Mismatch filtering for range sidelobe suppression is presented - both the classical weighting functions for linear frequency modulated waveforms, as well as various lesser-known weighting functions for phase-coded waveforms. The tradeoffs between resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and range sidelobe levels are quantified. The Doppler response of the various pulse compression techniques is explored via analysis of the radar ambiguity diagram. Frequency-modulated and phase- modulated waveforms of comparable bandwidth and pulsewidth are compared as to their Doppler response. The lecture concludes with a summary comparison of simple-pulse, frequency- modulated, and phase-modulated radar waveforms and their potential applications.

36 Conference Tutorial 3.1 Kalman Filters Dr. Mervin C. Budge, Jr., Dynetics, Inc. Thursday, May 8, 2:00-6:00 p.m. Pathfinder Room Abstract This course is intended to provide an overview of Kalman filters and their application to radar tracking. The course begins with a heuristic explanation of how a Kalman filter works by using a simple example of reconciling the value of a resistor when presented with the marked value and an ohmmeter reading. After the heuristic explanation, we provide a more mathematical derivation of the Kalman filter as a minimum mean-squared estimator. We start by considering a scalar filter so as not to be burdened by the notation associated with vector filters. We next use a scalar example to illustrate how a Kalman filter works and to illustrate some of the potential problems one can encounter when attempting to use a Kalman filter. Next, we present the equations for a vector Kalman filter, in a form that would be suitable for use in radar tracking problems. One of the issues when using Kalman filters in radar tracking is that the system and/or measurement model is often non-linear, a characteristic that is not included in the basic Kalman filter theory. The desire to use Kalman filters for radar tracking has led to the development of the extended Kalman filter. To this end, we will provide an overview of how the extended Kalman filter is derived and will present the equations for an extended Kalman filter. We will provide an example of an extended Kalman filter as applied to the radar tracking problem. To close the course, we discuss several variations on the extended Kalman filter. These will include mixed domain (continuous time and discrete time) filters, the use of Kalman filters in sensor fusion and Kalman filters that operate in different coordinates systems. Biography Dr. Mervin C. Budge, Jr. is employed with Dynetics, Inc. in Huntsville, Alabama and has been working in the field of radar and radar tracking (including Kalman filters) since 1972. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville where he teaches graduate and continuing education courses in radar, communications, signal processing and Kalman filters.

38 Conference Tutorial 3.3

Advanced Beamforming and Multipath Instructor: Dr. Tapan K. Sarkar, Syracuse University, and Dr. Michael C. Wicks, US AFRL, Rome, NY Monday, May 5, 2:00-6:00 p.m. Salon A Abstract This tutorial is tailored to those individuals who have a basic familiarity with STAP and who are interested in learning about current trends and challenges in up to the minute STAP research. Particular emphasis is placed on recent advances in the theory of optimal and adaptive rank-reduction methods aimed at combating many real-world deleterious effects such as interference heterogeneity/nonstationarity, and subspace leakage (i.e., internal clutter motion, nonlinear array geometries, transmitter/receiver instabilities, etc.). Topics covered include a brief summary of basic STAP fundamentals, a detailed description of the requirements that drive modern STAP implementations, data adaptive rank reduction methods such as principal components, cross-spectral, and the recently developed multistage Weiner filter, robust adaptive median filtering algorithms, and strategies for adaptation in the real world. Finally, a multidisciplinary perspective of STAP is presented which unifies seemingly disparate applications in radar, multispectral imaging, passive infrared and synthetic aperture radar.
