Abstract :
The Raytheon High Clutter Tracker (HCT) enables conventional marine radars to detect and track small targets such as swimmers, life rafts and open boats in heavy seas and at long range. In this article a general introduction to the project is given. Then, three debugging and diagnosis software tools are presented. Examples are given to demonstrate the ideas and how the tools are helpful for real world system diagnosis and system performance tuning up.
