Abstract :
In this paper we consider a number of aspects illustrating how networks of radar sensor systems (rather than a single monostatic radar) can offer a counter to stealth technology whilst simultaneously providing more detailed information for improved target detection, classification and location. The netted radar equation is developed, coverage, detection and location performance are quantified, and the potential utility of additional information offered by a network together with countermeasure capability are discussed
