This paper investigates the optimization of both single and full polarization radar transmission waveforms to maximize target identification discrimination. This theory is applied to the discrimination of the T-72 and Ml battle tanks based upon simulated target frequency response data. Significant performance improvement in identification is obtained using an optimized transmission waveform over that of a standard chirped pulse. generated using the Fast Illinois Solver Code Q^ISC) that applies a method-of-moments technique to provide high fidelity at relatively low radar frequencies. The specific VHF-band data generated by S AIC-Champaign cover frequencies between 225-375 MHz at an aspect interval of 2°.
This paper investigates the optimization of the transmission radar pulse shape to maximize either target detection or identity discrimination between the T-72 and M1 tanks under conditions of aspect uncertainty, Significant performance improvements in detection and identification are obtained using optimized transmission waveforms over that of standard chirped pulses. tion discrimination using two simulated surface mobile targets: the T-72 and M1 main battle tanks. SAICChampaign [S] generated VHF-band and X-band radar signatures for a single elevation angle of 15" and the full spectrum 0" -360" of aspect angles relative to the sensor. The X-band data cover frequencies between 9.28-9.92 GHz, whereas the VHF-band data span 225-375MHz.
