Intelligent radar management techniques in high frequency surface wave radar

This paper has highlighted and provided some background as to why HFSWR has been a leader in intelligent radar techniques as without them the robust radar performance cannot be achieved. The use of basic Intelligent Radar Techniques has provided the ability for the radar to operate in a complex environment effectively and robustly. However the high level of complexity combined with the experience also leads to a general conclusion that real time evaluation and modelling of radar performance against the chosen goals could enhance the efficacy of the radar, but to achieve this goal an extra layer of analysis and control software is required to exploit the ground work laid by the current and very effective system.
