Abstract :
The periscope detection problem is described. An advanced simulation model is developed which allows the performance of advanced periscope detection radars to be determined. An advanced system employing three-dimensional filters and distribution-free CFAR is postulated. Detection curves are developed showing the effects of radar resolution, platform altitude and sea state on system performance. The best detection performance is achieved with high resolution radar operating at low platform altitudes
