ABSTRACT:
A system and method for detecting and removing specular multipath reports from terminal ATCRB systems for aircraft targets having Mode 3/A transponder reporting capabilities. Reports are delayed for a first time, or azimuth, interval to determine whether the report is multipath or to identify future occurrences of multipath reports. After the first azimuth interval, the report is released for display and a fragment of the report is retained for an additional azimuth interval. Of two reports with matching Mode 3/A code, the one with the greater range is considered to be a multipath reply. If the multipath report range falls within a multipath range interval and has not been released for display, it is discarded by the system as an erroneous report.
