Abstract :
The evaluation of sensor performance under adverse weather conditions is critical for the determination of usability during all weather conditions. The Precisions Armaments Laboratory (PAL) located at the US Army Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, USA development will enable automated measurement of propagation effects and clutter characterization under adverse conditions.
