A new method for generating site-specific clutter map for land based radar by using multimodal remote sensing images and digital terrain data

This paper proposes new methodology for generation of realistic land clutter maps of interest to BAE Systems. A good impact area identified for joint future technology exploration is to significantly reduce high-cost and difficult to repeat flight based verification and validation (V&V) of RF Electronic Warfare (EW) receiver systems. In particular, the paper provides a way ahead to improve the fidelity of ground based RF threat simulators for EW V&V, where modelling of threat radars is currently limited by the lack of realistic terrain and scattering models (Contact: EW Technologist, BAE Systems).
