Multi-Scan Correlator Optimized for T93 (AR320) RadarsDEWITT, NY - April 26, 2000 - Sensis Corporation's Multi-Scan Correlator (MSC) will be installed on a United Kingdom Royal Air Force (RAF) Type 93 (AR320) radar system. The MSC drastically reduces false alarms due to various clutter sources while increasing the sensitivity of the radar using algorithms that examine target dynamics. The MSC adapts to variations in sensor accuracy, changes in track quality and target maneuvers to maintain a target in track while minimizing the association with clutter reports. False alarm reduction rates of up to 20-to-1 have been demonstrated in heavy clutter environments.
For the RAF application, the MSC will:
reduce false alarms caused by Anomalous Propagation (AP) and Electronic Counter Measures (ECM),
improve plot association for closely spaced multiple aircraft,
improve Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) ghosting caused by the reflection of aircraft SSR responses from nearby structures, and
multiple plot generation in both azimuth and elevation.
The MSC input and output will be fully compatible with the United Kingdom Air Defense Ground Environment (UKADGE) Integrate Control and Command System (ICCS), minimizing any changes required to the radar or the ICCS. Options for additional units may be exercised upon completion of the evaluation of the first installation's performance.
The MSC is currently used at nearly 100 installations worldwide on over 20 different types of radars. Installations include sites for certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration for air traffic control, for the United States Air Force and for international military and civil aviation authorities. |
