METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATION OF DISTRIBUTED SENSORS AND AIRPORT SURVEILLANCE RADAR TO MITIGATE BLIND SPOTS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for a first radar; identifying a blind spot in coverage of the first radar; providing a second radar to illuminate the blind spot, and merging data from the first and second radars using target classification prior to tracking to reduce false targets. In one embodiment, polarimetric data is used to classify targets.
