Abstract :
The concept of bistatic ground moving target indicator BGMTI is presented here. Monostatic GMTI radars use separate modes for ground movers whose Doppler does and does not allow separation of the target return from ground clutter using frequency processing. Bistatic flight scenarios that minimize Doppler spreading in the vicinity of a designated target area are presented as candidate flight test plans. Flight scenarios supporting a sustained broadside spot mode and an oblique spot mode are presented
