Multistatic and Networked Radar: Principles and Practice

Professor Viktor Chernyak was a visionary whose book Fundamentals of Multisite Radar Systems, published in 1993, set out the principles of multistatic and multiradar systems. This paper summarises Chernyak's contribution, provides some historical background to the development of networked radar, and discusses the technical issues that will be necessary for practical networked radars to be feasible in the future.
