Abstract

This paper describes a multistatic, sea clutter and vessel database, assembled using the three node, S Band radar, known as NetRAD (for, “Netted Radar”). This data was collected in the United Kingdom and South Africa during 2009-201. It is the intention of the investigators and sponsors of this work to make the raw data available to individuals and organisations interested in processing this multistatic data in support of the development of the understanding of sea clutter and vessel properties in the multistatic configuration.
