Abstract :
This work deals with the analysis of a multisensor radar system in the context of maritime border control scenario. The system is composed by a receiver that exploits the signal emitted by two non co-operative transmitters of opportunity: a UMTS base station and a FM radio station. An algorithm for selecting the transmitter for the tracking of a radar target is proposed. This algorithm can provide a significant aid to harbour protection and can reduce the computational load of surveillance operations.
