Twin VHF radar for european space situation awareness system

The efficient space surveillance system in the current state of radar technology must be addressed in a cost-effective way. Consequently, a new twin VHF band radar concept with increased technical capabilities could partially take over these challenges. This article would like to draw the reader´s attention to the potential benefits of VHF radar signal fusion, which can be extended for “L” and “S” band radar also. The new network centric approach leads to a gradual shift from surveillance radar, efficient against targets with low RCS, to complex very efficient multipurpose, as a low cost radar for continuous low orbit space observation sensing. The article would like to show potential benefits of the twin radar concept and highlights its main aspect of realization.
