Additionally, STK allows us to define a radar cross section (RCS) for the aircraft, which will form the basis of our detection process. Initially, the aircraft has been assigned a uniform RCS profile, while we validate the behaviour of our system. In turn, this will be replaced with a realistic RCS profile.

This serves as an intuitive measure to describe the ability of our radar to detect various aircraft. Figure 8 shows the results of comparing the initial uniform RCS profile with the realistic HFSS RCS profile. As expected, the uniform profile provides a very predictable and symmetric response as the aircraft first nears, passes, and then travels away from the patrol boat. In its current configuration, the targeted radar beam is set up with four range based rectangular waveforms. As the radar swaps from one waveform to the next, we observe a sharp dip in detection. This occurs twice as the aircraft nears the patrol boat, and twice more as the aircraft travels further away.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f51efb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2f51efb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1137\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Graph.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2458\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Graph.png 1137w, https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Graph-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Graph-1024x556.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Graph-768x417.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1137px) 100vw, 1137px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca343de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ca343de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Figure 6: Probability of Detection for uniform and realistic RCS Profiles<\/em><\/p><p>By comparison, the realistic RCS profile shows a much shorter period of confident detection and presents a much more sporadic detection result.

This post explains how to set up radar detection and interpret the results as well as how to factor in radar jamming technology and the impact it may have on the resulting data. Throughout this mission, our system will be assessed on its ability to maintain crucial communication links between its multiple assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[139],"tags":[141,133,134,136,140],"class_list":["post-2433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dme","tag-design-reference-missions","tag-digital-mission-engineering","tag-dme","tag-drm","tag-radar-detection"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2433"}],"version-history":[{"count":36,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2545,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433\/revisions\/2545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leapaust.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
