Abstract

The rationale and trade-off considerations involved in the definition of a new generation of high-performance tracking radar are described. The radar is the primary sensor for control of surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft or dual-purpose guns, and close-in weapons and is designed for all sizes of ships from 150 tons up. Operational requirements are outlined broadly and optimization investigations accounted for on a number of parameters: wavelengths, type of transmitter and waveforms, pulse compression principle, receiver and signal processing, and antenna. Data for the completed standard design are given
