Abstract :
Our goal is the determination of exploitable phenomena to improve terminal guidance systems for smart munitions. The research and seeker emulator radar (RASER) provides us with an unequaled research tool for the analysis of actual data from sensors employed by smart munitions. This is critical for the development of models and a better understanding of the basic physics from the sensor/target interaction. This paper will discuss the capabilities and operation of RASER and outline potential experiments
