Abstract :
The digital data processing and control system of the Haystack long range imaging radar (LRIR) has been replaced with a new, very high speed, large capacity system that features maximum use of state-of-the-art, but off-the-shelf, commercial equipment. The new system enhances the LRIR with advanced real-time control, recording, and imaging, and the modularity of the system allows for future growth or reduction depending on the application. It was designed with sufficient flexibility to allow use in other radars
