장거리 위협 표적의 효율적 탐지를 위한 AESA 레이다의 빔 운용과 파형 설계 = Beam Operation and Waveform Design of Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar for Efficient Detection of Long-Range Threat Targets

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, we propose a beam operation policy and waveform design method to efficiently detect nose-aspect targets(long-distance threats) using an active electronically scanned array(AESA) radar. The target information to be obtained through the radar beam operation is identified by considering the characteristics of long-range threats/targets, and a beam operation method suitable for target information is designed. This paper presents the design considerations and methods for the efficient acquisition of target information, which is extracted by beam operation, and the associated performance constraints. To verify the validity of the design, the flight test was carried out using an AESA radar and a carrier(C-130H), and the test results and design values were analyzed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
