Abstract :
This paper investigates the optimization of the transmission radar pulse shape to maximize either target detection or identity discrimination between the T-72 and M1 tanks under conditions of aspect uncertainty. Significant performance improvements in detection and identification are obtained using optimized transmission waveforms over that of standard chirped pulses
