  • Patent number: 5884294
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar emitter recognition system and method for classifying incoming emitters into their functional roles as disclosed by their electronic signatures and the context within which the radar transmissions are received. An electronic support system provides incoming data, including unknown attribute information, to a neural network which has been synthesized or trained to calculate a network solution indicative of an emitter's classification within a range of attributes. Similarly the electronic support system provides incoming data, including unknown context data, to a fuzzy logic system that has been provided with possibility distributions to classify the emitter as originating from one of several strategic contexts. The resultant categorizations from the neural network and the fuzzy logic system are combined in a classifier to yield an improved recognition of the emitter under observation.
