Software Development Simulation Model of the Radar Environment with Verification Based on Full-Scale Experiment

A simulation model of the radar environment, which allows one to simulate various scenarios of pulse radar operation, is proposed in the paper. The description of the functionality and a model flowcharting is presented. A study to quantify the signal-to-noise ratio of the radar response of a target against known target parameters and radar parameters during a test session has been conducted. The implementation of model for clutter suppression is presented. Comparison of experimental results and simulation results is shown.

I. Introduction

In view of rapid technological development of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles for various purposes, it is necessary to ensure the relevant development of systems and methods for detection, tracking and recognizing targets moving in the airspace with clutter presence.
