Abstract
This paper describes a bistatic HF surface wave radar, designated SECAR, which was deployed near Darwin, Australia, and used to conduct a variety of scientific investigations related to radar design, siting and target detection, as well as providing a test-bed for evaluating the operational utility of HFSWR as an element of a national surveillance network. The scientific results are significant because of their implications for improved radar design and effective deployment.
