Abstract :
This paper describes how a circular UHF electronically scanned array like that being considered by the US Navy could be used to simultaneously perform both airborne early warning (AEW) searches and high update rate tracking of a few targets. Taxonomies of the various search and track modes are reported, and an example radar resource configuration is described in detail.
