Ground Clutter and Airborne Radar
Sept. 26 | 2 PM ET

The ground is a major consideration for most airborne systems, with uncontrolled interactions normally ending badly. Airborne radar is no exception, and the effects of ground clutter are arguably the major challenge facing airborne radars. Ground clutter is visible over a wide range of directions, appears at most ranges of interest, and is moving relative to the radar. To make matters worse, antenna characteristics along with range and Doppler ambiguities mean that ground clutter rears its ugly in places where it has no business being. Mother Nature is clearly doing her best to ensure that engineers have enough challenges to keep them out of mischief.

The primary characteristics of ground clutter will be evaluated to provide insight into how it affects airborne radar systems. The way radar properties influence the effect of ground clutter will then be explored with a view to understanding the origin of some of the unique characteristics of airborne radars. Finally, some approaches to minimising the effect of ground clutter will be addressed to develop an appreciation of why airborne radar systems operate the way they do.

Answering Your EW Questions

How does artificial intelligence and machine learning affect electronic warfare system effectiveness? How are EW capabilities changing with adversarial powers like China or with non-state actors in the Middle East? In this bonus episode of From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller answers these questions and more as he delves into some of the most common listener questions the show has received on everything EW.

Ken also explores the role Congress plays in shaping the development and deployment of electronic warfare technologies, as well as the emerging technology that’s likely to shape the future of EW in global conflicts years or decades into the future.
