Abstract :
Skywave over-the-horizon backscatter radar (OTHR) has great potential for detecting such targets as cruise missiles, stealth aircraft, the powered trajectory of ballistic missiles and aircraft carriers over long distances and at the same time. This paper evaluates the detectability of OTHR for small targets through experimental research and emulation, and then brings forth directions for improvement to some shortcomings of this radar. Also, this paper inquires into several key considerations of this system for synthetic design of cost and effect
