METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATION OF DISTRIBUTED SENSORS AND AIRPORT SURVEILLANCE RADAR TO MITIGATE BLIND SPOTS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for a first radar; identifying a blind spot in coverageof the first radar; providing a secondradar to illuminate the blind spot, and merging data from the first and secondradars using target classification prior to tracking toreduce false targets. In one embodiment, polarimetric data is used to classifytargets.
