Design Concept for the Advanced Radar Test Bed (ARTB). Volume 2. Appendices.

This proposal responds to the Broad Area Announcement of FY91 Research Opportunities of the SDIO Innovative Science and Technology Directorate, Reference Number SDIO 90-18, listed as topical area number 4 Self Adaptive Processing and Simulation. A collaborative industrial and university team Scientific Research Corporation, Metric Systems Corporation and Clemson University, proposes to perform research consisting of the two primary tasks and associated sub-tasks described in subsequent sections of this proposal. The proposed industrial-university team has decades of experience in providing advanced technology-oriented research and development as well as manufacturing support for the United States government and industry. With combined partnership resources of more than 3000 personnel located throughout the United States and overseas, consisting primarily of scientists, engineers, analytical and product personnel, the proposed team represents a wide spectrum of research, development, engineering, manufacturing, test and evaluation, and operational activities. Facilities and laboratories are available to support effectively a variety of experimental and scientific investigations. Recent research and development activities have included providing focus for emerging technologies and directing research programs that required the skills of highly specialized scientists and engineers. For example, advanced sensor and communication technologies for phased arrays and high power systems have been investigated to determine their potential for meeting specialized rapid prototyping requirements.
