WSS - Intrusion Detection Radar
Field Data Field trial data illustrates the
advanced capabilities of the ECIDR system. The
images shown below were from the SeaScan RT radar
video display. High Performance Detection of
targets with RCS of 0.03-0.47m2 In the test
twenty-five moored targets were deployed in a 5x5
grid. The targets were plastic spheres, varying
in diameter from 0.72 to 2.8 feet, covered with a
reflective mesh and sitting directly on the
water. The radar cross section of the targets
varied from 0.03 m2 to 0.47 m2, representing
real-life targets varying in size from a
person-in-water (PIW) to a four-man life raft.
In addition, drifting targets were deployed and
retrieved after each recording trip. The below
figures show data with a higher clutter
background. This data was collected with a wave
height of 3.1 meters. The wind was variable.
The image on the left shows spiky clutter with
no processing. The image on the right is with
the ECIDR processing applied and clearly shows
the test targets.
No processing applied, clutter masks targets.
Series 1000 ECIDR processing clearly show small
targets in clutter.
