Abstract

In 2010 Cassidian initiated the development of an improved multiband Passive Radar demonstrator, processing FM, DAB and DVB-T waveforms in real-time, [1]-[8]. System architecture and design considerations were directed towards an operationally full mobile PCL system. The Passive Radar vehicle possesses an integrated mast system and accommodates the electronic equipment as well as the operator´s work station. The chosen design enables full mobility, flexible deployment and short installation times in various environments. In 2012 Cassidian decided to set up a second stationary FM Passive Radar system on top of a building on the Cassidian premises in Ulm for permanent 24/7 operation and first sensor cluster measurements.
