Mutli-sensor surveillance radar based on MISO sensors and Kalman filtration

Specific modern military defense systems are based on detection of approaching threat missiles and activation of various kinds of active countermeasures. The presented surveillance radar was developed for detection and tracking of missiles in question in the close vicinity of military vehicles. Apart from the determination of the missile trajectory, the device is capable of calculating the expected point-of-impact. It consists of a set of MISO radar sensors and applies the ESPRIT method for determination of DOA and extended Kalman filtration. The realized 2-sensor sample was tested by using real military missiles and proved to be able to detect and track them efficiently.
