This expanded, revised and updated new edition covers two major topics: low observables and low probability of intercept (LO and LPI) of Radars and data links, collectively sometimes called stealth. Each chapter includes examples, student exercises, references and counterpart appendices.

The book provides a systematic introduction to the principles, state-of-the-art methods and applications of high frequency surface/sky wave radar and microwave marine radar, as well as an exploration of ongoing challenges in the field. It is a valuable resource for the radar and remote sensing communities.

Tactical Persistent Surveillance Radar with Applications introduces technologists to the essential elements of persistent surveillance of tactical targets from both a hardware and software point of view, using simple Mathcad, Excel and Basic examples with real data. It is based on the type of surveillance done by drones like Scan Eagle, Predator, Reaper, Global Hawk, and manned aircraft like U-2, ASTOR, and JSTARS as well as spacecraft. The general topic is cellphone and datalink intercept, ground moving target radar, synthetic aperture radar, navigation, tracking, electronic scanning and cueing electro-optical sensors for activity based surveillance.Examples are taken from a wide range of technologies and techniques including passive detection, radar detection, antenna monopulse, active electronic scanned antennas (AESA), moving target tracking (MTT), motion compensation, tactical target spectral characteristics, moving target detection (MTI), space time adaptive processing (STAP), synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, change detection (CCD), and synthetic monopulse.Over 120 example applications programs are included in the appendices and as downloads as well as over 100 SAR and GMTI raw IQ data files. These allow the curious to experiment with their own parameters and notions to achieve a greater understanding of the underlying behaviors.Based on the author's 55-year experience in engineering design, leadership, teaching and consulting, this book is an essential text for researchers, advanced students and technologists working in radar and related fields in computing and aerospace system design.

This book presents comprehensive coverage of new research into sea clutter characterisation and modelling, radar performance prediction and maritime target detection. The book also includes a summary of sea-clutter scattering characteristics and datasets provided that can be used for modelling.

Radar signals are one of the most challenging signals to process, because of the extreme signal to noise ratio and the dynamic range of the signals. This book gives readers an analysis of the various tools available to help better understand radar data, including coverage of new machine learning and statistical methods.

The interdisciplinary nature of aviation cybersecurity and its wide-ranging impact requires contributions of expertise from multiple disciplines to collaborate in identifying ways forward. This book provides an understanding of the key technical, social and legal issues in aviation cybersecurity, and proposes innovative solutions.

The definitive book on bistatic radar provides a history of bistatic systems and alerts potential designers to non-working applications and dead-ends. While reviewing basic concepts and definitions, the text explains mathematical development of relationships such as geometry, Ovals of Cassini, dynamic range, isorange and isodoppler contours, and clutter doppler spread.
