Additional information

Explains the importance and difficulty of measuring and modelling bistatic radar sea clutter. Formed the basis of experimental trials campaign in South Africa, funded by ONR, THALES UK and THALES Netherlands; results showed for the first time that the amplitude distribution of bistatic sea clutter is shorter-tailed than the equivalent monostatic clutter, and hence that the bistatic configuration can have a performance advantage of 6dB or more over the conventional monostatic configuration in detecting small targets against sea clutter. Resulted in further publications, and invited keynotes at international conferences (RADAR 2012, RADAR 2013), and EPSRC Grant EP/J008419/1 (£703k in total).
