Evaluation of the MTD in a high-clutter environment
Summary
The MTD (Moving Target Detector) is an automated radar signal and data processing system designed to improve the performance of air surveillance radars in various forms of clutter while providing a low output false alarm rate. This paper briefly describes the architecture of the MTD processor and presents the results of a field evaluation of the system using the ASR-7 terminal radar at Burlington, Vermont.
