Abstract :
Use of more than one radar is frequently encountered due to the necessity of covering a wide area with high resolution. In such cases, the radar registration problem must be addressed. Current technological developments have made it possible to acquire precise position and angle measurements; however, precision and high performance in surveillance and weapons control have also become equally important. Radar registration errors and their possible causes are addressed and some approaches that remove these errors are compared.
