Abstract
Placing a radar in space for the detection and tracking of airborne moving targets has a number of advantages, however it creates a complex clutter environment and is susceptible to jamming. Both these problems can be solved by employing a space-time adaptive processor. This paper considers how space-time adaptive processing (STAP) can be applied and presents some simulation results illustrating its operation and showing the performance improvements potentially available
