  • Method of data reduction in non-coherent side-looking airborne radars
    Patent number: 4894658
    Abstract: A method of data reduction in non-coherent SLAR systems enhances the usefulness of such systems in moving target environments. Digitized MT data is processed to identify and classify target footprints. At least some of the footprints are replaced by an indicator of the centroid thereof and its motion. Clutter is rejected. Other footprints are replaced with truncated versions thereof. The technique is suitable for real time application.
