Performance analysis of an airborne high PRF phased array radar in a jamming environment

This study focuses on algorithms currently available for a high PRF airborne phased array radar, where the system is designed to unambiguously detect fast targets, such as fighters, under intense jamming. It is shown that under the constrained conditions, the best processing option is not the well known space time adaptive processor (STAP), but a dual processor which provides the optimal solution at lowest possible computational cost maintaining the overall optimal performance.
