Methodology Improvement Program for the Second Generation Miss Distance Radar (MIDI II).

摘要

The present Miss Distance Indicator (MIDI I) Radar tracks a target and measures the vector miss distance of projectiles fired at the target. The major conclusion of this study is that the MIDI I limitation of operating against targets 150 meters or more above ground level can be improved down to 15 meters for gun scoring and 60 meters for missile scoring by applying a combination of radar techniques such as: (1) pulsed Doppler to attenuate the ground clutter; (2) multiple, selectable antenna beamwidths to meet both low altitude operation and scoring volume requirements and (3) a remote antenna/receiver/transmitter to provide favorable elevation geometry.
