NCTR in netted radar systems

The spatial diversity of multistatic systems and the development of efficient fusion strategies have increased the research interest in Non Cooperative Target Recognition (NCTR) techniques. This paper proposes a correlation-based classification algorithm where the information on the target class is provided by the sensors of the system and the final decision is made using a fusion rule that combines the decisions coming from each channel. The proposed fusion rule selects the channels with the best performance and discard those with the worst ones.
