Abstract
A distributed system based on a network of short-range (1.5-3 km) radars, operating in the W-band (93-95 GHz), is proposed for the ground surveillance of airports. Both the architecture and the main features of each subsystem are described. The system can boast very high resolution, the elimination of shadowing, and the inclusion of image processing techniques in the track-while-scan (TWS) function
