Abstract :
Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) is a non-cooperative target recognition technique that has been investigated for target identification by the combat identification (ID) community for the past decade. Recently, ISAR imaging of moving targets has been an area of vigorous research. ISAR imaging is an effective way to acquire high resolution images of targets of interest at long range and as such is an irreplaceable tool in the task of non-cooperative target recognition. Its applications include detection, imaging, and classification of ships and aircraft with airborne, maritime, and land-based radar systems. Being radar-based, this imaging technique can be employed in all weather and day/night conditions.
