Abstract:
This monograph traces the history of periscope detection radar PDR from the origin of radar in World War II to 2008. During this period, PDR sensors have evolved substantially, owing primarily to notable changes in the threat, missions, requirements, measures, countermeasures, environment, and advances in technology. Today, it is necessary to detect relatively frequent, but fleeting, periscope exposures of acoustically quiet diesel-electric submarines against a background of numerous target-like objects in high-clutter littoral environments. State-of-the-art signal processing has transformed a labor-intensive false-alarm-ridden endeavor into an automatic radar periscope detection and discrimination system.
