ABSTRACT:
A radar system and method employing a radar with an electronically scanned antenna array for estimating range and range rate to a target using angle cueing only. The radar transmits radar pulses at the target and searches the projection of the line-of-sight to the target on the ground for ground-bounce returns associated with each transmitted pulse. A processor coupled to the radar and processes the ground-bounce returns to determine an angle corresponding to the maximum reflected multipath ground-bounce return when the antenna array scans the ground. The angle data derived from processing the multipath ground-bounce returns permits computation of the range to and range rate of the target.
