General Chair, 2016 IEEE Radar Conference

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the historic city of Philadelphia to participate in the

2016 IEEE Radar Conference. This years conference continues the success of past conferences

with an excellent technical program with contributions from the national and international

community. The technical program opens with a plenary session of invited speakers that will

feature the Philadelphia regions pioneering and ongoing contributions to the art of radar. The

balance of the program is also rich in technical content and well organized in thematic parallel

and poster sessions consistent with our conference theme Enabling Technologies for Advances in

Radar. In addition, our technical program continues with the important tradition of a student

poster paper competition that includes winner recognition during Thursdays lunch program. In

summary, this years program will both inform on recent accomplishments, and stimulate

creative thinking for future advances in our field.

Our technical program is complimented nicely with a strong set of tutorials that range from

introductory to advanced topics. We hope you take advantage of this important learning

opportunity to strengthen your understanding of radar fundamentals or expand the breadth of

your knowledge in advanced and emerging topics. The technical program and scope of the

tutorials would have made Philadelphias most prominent scholar, Benjamin Franklin, very

proud.

Social activities at this years conference include a Women in Radar Networking Lunch on

Tuesday, an Exhibitor Reception Tuesday evening, and our Banquet Wednesday evening. The

Banquet program begins with a reception featuring live entertainment from the uniquely

Philadelphian Fralinger String Band, followed by dinner, the award ceremony and keynote

address. This years award ceremony features the presentation of the first Robert T. Hill Award

for the best Ph.D. Dissertation. Our banquet program concludes with a keynote address from Dr.

Vijay Kumar, Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of

Pennsylvania. Dr. Kumars research in robotics is world renowned, and his talk entitled Flying

Robots: Beyond UAVs will be both entertaining and educational.

Apart from the usual conference activities, our conference committee has prepared a Guest

Program that enables participants to experience the historical and cultural attractions that are

1

both world class and unique to the city of Philadelphia. We also hope you consider either

arriving early or extending your stay to further enjoy the charm of the city, and its many cultural

and culinary offerings.

This years conference would not have been possible without the sponsorship of the IEEE AESS

and the Philadelphia section of the IEEE, dedicated work of the organizing committee,

enthusiastic participation from exhibitors, and generous support from industry. It particular, we

are very grateful to have received premier corporate support from Lockheed Martin in

Technical Program Chair, 2016 IEEE Radar Conference

On behalf of the technical program committee members, I would like to express my welcome to

Philadelphia and our 2016 IEEE Radar Conference. We hope you enjoy all aspects of it. We

appreciate the energy that the international radar community has shown for this conference. We

had over 500 papers submitted, and 115 technical program reviewers. We accepted 181 oral

papers and 100 poster papers. This all led to a high-quality program that we feel you will truly

appreciate. The very dedicated volunteer reviewers were chosen for their breadth and expertise

in Radar and it allowed us to give each paper a careful consideration with multiple reviews. I

want to thank those that suggested special sessions; the conference has 12 special sessions and a

total of 38 parallel sessions that cover a wide variety of systems, processing, hardware and

algorithms. I also want to thank the session co-chairs for accepting that role and giving our

conference a personal feel.

The students represent our future. This year 20 student papers are being presented in the oral

format. All 93 accepted student papers were also part of a student contest, led by James Onorato,

open to all papers whose primary author is an active full-time student. The contest is to

encourage graduate students to pursue radar and related technologies. The top 3 winners will be

recognized at the conference and receive a cash award. In addition, the top 10 receive a radar

textbook. We also gratefully acknowledge the generous financial support of the U.S. National

Science Foundation, which sponsored our student travel grants.

We want to especially thank the paper authors for their contributions to this conference and the

A Decade of Through Wall Radar Imaging

Abstract: This talk discusses the advances made in through-the-wall radar imaging over the last

decade. It states the different objectives of research and development efforts in this area, and

describes the main challenges specific to urban radar in terms of clutter, target ghosting, and

multipath. We summarize effective approaches for wall clutter mitigation and multipath

suppression and exploitation. The talk illustrates the role of Doppler, microDoppler, and change

detection in indoor moving target detection and localization. It includes both distributed and co-

located system configurations. We show how compressive sensing and sparse reconstruction

techniques can be employed to enhance behind the wall target imaging and to relax constraints

traditionally imposed on data sampling and acquisition. We describe some of the hand-held and

vehicle mounted systems available for through wall radar imaging, delineate their properties and

comment on their performance.

Dr. Alexander M. Haimovich

From Random Arrays to Compressive Sensing

Abstract: The mathematical theory of random arrays, large antenna arrays populated sparsely

with randomly placed elements, goes back to the 1960's. The field flourished in the 1970's and

1980's thanks to the pioneering work of Bernard Steinberg and others at the University of

Pennsylvania, who developed algorithms and calibration methods and even built the first random

arrays. Classical random array literature teaches that as the number of sensors increases, the

radiation pattern of a random array converges to its average, and it is equal to the pattern of a

filled array with the same aperture. However, two fundamental questions were left open: how

many sensors are needed for localization as a function of the array aperture and the number of

targets, and under what conditions specific algorithms have a high probability of success.

Emerging in the mid 2000's, compressive sensing has quickly evolved into a very hot research

topic covering many fields. In this talk, we will show how compressive sensing, the theory of

recovery of information from undersampled data, may be applied to obtain answers to open

questions on sparse, random arrays. The talk will discuss target detection and false alarms in the

context of compressive sensing, and present algorithms that are specifically designed to meet

radar requirements as well as feature reduced complexity offering a path to real-time, practical

implementation.

Biography: Dr. Haimovich received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the

TechnionIsrael Institute of Technology in 1977, the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from

Drexel University in 1983, and the Ph.D. degree in systems engineering from the University of

Pennsylvania in 1989. From 1983 to 1990, he was a design engineer and staff consultant at AEL

Industries. He served as Chief Scientist of JJM Systems from 1990 until 1992. Since 1992 he has

been on the faculty at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, where he currently serves as the

Ying Wu Chair and Distinguished Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He also

serves as the Director of the Elisha Bar-Ness Center for Wireless Communications Research. He

is an author on some of the seminal papers on MIMO radar. His current research interest include

MIMO radar, active and passive localization, signal intelligence, sensor networks and wireless

networks.

Space Fence

Abstract: Space is no longer a vast, empty void. Unprecedented quantities of new satellites,

derelict satellites, and debris litter the skies, posing an imminent threat to Americas space assets.

The Space Fence System is a ground-based system of S-band radars designed to greatly enhance

the Air Force Space Surveillance Network. Space Fence provides unprecedented sensitivity,

coverage and tracking accuracy, and contributes to key mission threads with the ability to detect,

track and catalog small objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and

Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). Space Fence capabilities will revolutionize space situational

awareness. Space Fence includes up to two minimally-manned radar sites and the Space Fence

Operations Center. Each radar site features a design with closely-spaced, but separate, Transmit

and Receive Arrays that are mission-optimized for high availability and low lifetime support

costs, including prime power. The radar architecture is based on Digital Beamforming. This

capability permits tremendous user-defined flexibility to customize volume surveillance and

track sectors instantaneously without impacting routine surveillance functions.

Space Fence offers assured surveillance coverage for improved custody and features the

capability to develop long arc tracks for accurate orbit determination, while simultaneously

maintaining a persistent surveillance volume. Space Fence allows operators to reconstruct recent

eventssuch as collisions or satellite break-upsand accurately predict future events. For high-

interest objects, a micro fence can be electronically constructed to gather more track data,

focusing radar resources specifically on that object, providing more timely and accurate

information. The Space Fence System is net-centric and will seamlessly integrate into the

existing Space Surveillance Network, providing services to external userssuch as the Joint

Space Operations Center (JSpOC)and coordinating handoffs to other SSN sites. Space Fence

is a robust, flexible, advanced end-to-end system that will meet the warfighters operational

needs and revolutionize Space Situational Awareness.

TUTORIALS

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a radar imaging mode that maps radar reflectivity of the ground. This is an important earth resource monitoring and analysis tool in the civilian and government communities, and an important intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) tool for the military and intelligence communities. The tutorial proposed herein is intended to provide an introduction to the physical concepts, processing, performance, features, and exploitation modes that make SAR work, and make it useful. Although mathematics will be shown in some parts of the presentation, more than enough to keep any attendee happy, the lecture will focus on the qualitative significance of the mathematics rather than dry derivations. Liberal use of example SAR images and other data products will be used to illustrate the concepts discussed. The presentation will be given as four distinct modules, each based on (but enhanced from) presentations developed and given by the presenter in numerous non-public forums to government, military, industry, and academic groups.

Biography: Dr. Armin Doerry is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in the ISR Mission Engineering Department of Sandia National Laboratories.

Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is a technique used for reconstructing radar images of moving targets. Often, modern high-resolution radars implicitly offer the system requirements needed for implementing ISAR imaging. ISAR images can be obtained by means of a signal processing that can be enabled both on and off-line by using dedicated image formation algorithms. Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems are often based on the use of radar images because they provide a 2D electromagnetic map of the target reflectivity. Therefore, classification features that contain spatial information can be extracted and used to increase the performance of classifiers. The understanding of ISAR image formation is crucial for optimizing ATR systems that are based on such images.

As a special offer, proof of registration for this tutorial will entitle attendees to a 40% discount on copies of Dr. Martorellas new Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging book (ref: https://sci.presswarehouse.com/Books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=369891) if purchased at the conference.

Whether you are a student seeking real data to prove your Ph.D. thesis, or a researcher planning for experimentation in your grant proposal, or a system engineer in need of a radar prototype to demonstrate your innovative idea to a customer, you will be faced with prototyping a radar system with limited time and budget. There exist many books and tutorials on basic and advanced signal processing, but little is found on how to build your radar prototype that can support and run these algorithms. This tutorial will provide you with practical skills and techniques needed to build your advanced radar prototype. The focus is not on how devices/algorithms work, but on how to relate the choice of microwave devices and signal processing algorithms to the desired radar specifications.

You will learn how to interpret datasheets and how to interface with vendors. The course will end with a step-by-step MIMO radar design example, starting from the requirements and ending with a schematic and bill of material. All participants will also receive a free consultation to their current radar system design until their project is completed.

Multi-target tracking is currently a hot topic, explicitly called out in the scope of the conference. Target tracking algorithms have been evolving for the last 50 years, most notably with the development of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) algorithm, with its flurry of recent papers. Researchers are achieving significant new progress building on the fundamentals of tracking. This tutorial will ground the students in the fundamentals of multi- target tracking, with emphasize on the issues faced with designing a tracking system to meet requirements, and identifying where new technology is desirable for improving system capabilities. The presenter has 29 years of experience in designing and implementing tracking systems, and she will be filling the tutorial with her insights into what happens when design meets reality. This presentation is built upon the Lockheed Martin Top Gun program, used to train LM practicing engineers in the art of designing radar tracking systems.

Radar Systems Engineering, in many ways, can be more of an art than a science. For younger engineers, picking up the skill sets necessary for a successful career in radar systems is not always readily available. This session is designed to provide a practical tool set for engineers entering the radar profession. It presents the fundamentals and goes through a number of problems to cover some of the necessary as well as non-intuitive aspects of radar engineering.

Knowledge transfer is a critical task for radar houses to ensure success with the next generation. Capturing the extensive technical and program information held with the senior workforce is almost mandatory. A board of technical advisors can devise curriculum such that its current, important to the lines of business, and that the format of lectures is uniform in the level of content and the amount of information for better understanding and retention. Within the radar systems engineering realm, a graduate-level understanding is a worthy goal but providing a working knowledge for new hires and non-radar engineers can be just as relevant. This session is a subset of lectures on radar systems engineering fundamentals and will provide an introduction to radar systems, range equation and radar signal processing techniques as well as the nature of physical observables and propagators, the effects of the propagation medium on sensor performance, the relationship between signals and noise, and the characteristics of critical sensor functions (including detection and tracking).

SAR/ISAR images have been largely used for earth observation, surveillance, classification and recognition of targets of interest. The effectiveness of such systems may be limited by a number of factors, such as poor resolution, shadowing effects, interference, etc. Moreover, both SAR and ISAR images are to be considered as two-dimensional maps of the real three-dimensional object. Therefore, a single sensor may produce only a two-dimensional image where its image projection plane (IPP) is defined by the system-target geometry. Such a mapping typically creates a problem for the image interpretation, as the target image is only a projection of it onto a plane. In addition to this, monostatic SAR/ISAR imaging systems are typically quite vulnerable to intentional jammers as the sensor can be easily detected and located by an electronic counter- measure (ECM) system. Bistatic SAR/ISAR systems can overcome such a problem as the receiver can act covertly due to the fact that it is not easily detectable by an ECM system, whereas multistatic SAR/ISAR may push forward the system limits both in terms of resolution and image interpretation.

This tutorial will comprehensively discuss next generation digital array radar design considerations and how they impact radar performance operationally. This is crucial for the design and development of many future DoD and commercial radars because:

Radar clutter, jamming, and electromagnetic interference environments are evolving and becoming more challenging and

Radar products are transitioning from traditional analog array architectures to digital array architectures that take advantage of cost-effective technology components.

This tutorial will include detailed discussions of the trades between digital array technology components, array architectures, and radar system concepts & techniques needed to most effectively meet next generation radar operational needs. In order to enable Lockheed Martin to respond to these evolving radar customer needs, the presenters have provided similar digital array tutorials to multiple disciplines of engineers across the Lockheed Martin Corporation (including radar systems, hardware, and software architects and designers).

It is well known that the Matched Filter maximizes the SNR, and that SNR is the sufficient statistic to predict Detection performance. Commonly, Harry Van Trees seminal work Detection, estimation, and Modulation Theory Part 1 is referenced. Modern radar often does much more than detection however. Additionally, some of the assumptions and constraints described by Van Trees are broken in modern radar. Personal discussions with Dr. Van Trees in the early 2000s made it clear that he thought that his work was being misunderstood, and his conclusions on the Matched Filter optimality documented in his book were not including all of the assumptions and constraints and were therefore being mis-applied. His quote to me was I hate it when people mis-quote me. This tutorial will attempt to faithfully represent his work, including all the assumptions and constraints that make the Matched Filter not necessarily optimum in a practical sense for modern radar, although it clearly works quite well. Other ideas on the application of parameter estimation approaches will be described and how they relate to the work of Van Trees, and under what conditions they may be superior to the Matched Filter and its variants (e.g multi-dimensional, weighted, etc.) Our goal with respect to the non-Gaussian problem is modest. First, it is to leave the user with an awareness that in any given situation we must verify that the Gaussian model is either valid or an adequate approximation to obtain useful results. Second, if the Gaussian model does not hold, we should be willing to try to solve the actual problem (even approximately) and to not retain the Gaussian solution because of its neatness.

He previously developed with his partner Dr. Jaime Roman a pulse-pulse adaptive waveform approach that exploited Mutual Information criteria to adapt the transmitted waveform in time to maximize the information the radar collected increasing performance, under a contract with the Air Force Research Lab Sensors Directorate in the early 2000s. Mr. Garnham was also the Chief Scientist for an Air Force Research Lab distributed formation flying satellite radar concept and technology development program in the late 90s to early 2000s.

The tutorial will present the concept of continues wave radar emitting noise or pseudo- noise waveform. Noise waveforms have significant advantages over the classical radar waveforms, as they do not have range nor Doppler ambiguities and can be used in dense electromagnetic environment without significant interferences with other devices using this some spectrum. However, noise radars suffer from a near-far problem, so it would be difficult to design long range CW noise radar. The signal processing in noise radar is more complicated than in classical radar since all targets echoes are received simultaneously and have to be resolved. Since the targets are illuminated for long times, it is not only possible to detect and track targets using noise radar but also to perform non-cooperative identification using micro-Doppler analyses and to create ISAR images of the targets. To increase the power density on the target and provide spatial diversity of the illuminating signal, noise radar can be used in MIMO configurations using co-located as well as spatially separated antennas. Prof. Kulpa has given several tutorials in the past on noise radar technology. The last was held during the EURAD 2014 conference, but the similarity will be less than 25%.

Adaptive arrays improve the reception of desired signals in the presence of interference and jamming signals in radar systems. They are designed to complement other interference suppression techniques, such as low sidelobe antennas, spread-spectrum techniques, and high directivity. Modern adaptive antenna systems can automatically sense the presence of interference and suppress it, while maintaining desired signal reception. Many techniques are available with differing levels of complexity and performance, but most seek to optimize SINR, the ratio of signal to (interference plus noise). Attendees will survey these techniques and learn the practical and mathematical aspects of their use. This course will begin by reviewing the basics of antenna arrays and beamforming. We then study classic covariance matrix-based approaches, including the LMS gradient-based algorithm and the LS and MVDR block processing algorithms. The remaining portion of the course covers specialty techniques useful for large arrays, such as sidelobe cancellation and partially adaptive arrays, as well as non- digital techniques such as reconfigurable arrays. Guidance on which algorithms are best in specific applications will be provided. Versions of this course have been presented at five previous conferences.

The tutorial provides an introduction to cognitive processing for radar systems. The emphasis is placed on how the emerging theories can be taken and applied in practice. Essentially, an attempt is made to answer the question: How does one build a cognitive radar? The meaning of cognition, from an engineering perspective, is discussed and a case is made as to why future radar system need to be cognitive. From this base position, techniques by which cognitive- like algorithms can be developed are discussed and the role of bioinspired signal processing considered. A mathematically rigorous, generalized cognitive framework will be introduced and examples of its use in experimental tests given. Further examples will be provided of how cognition can be, and in some cases already is, used in radar processing. The tutorial will close with remarks on how the radar engineering community can move forwards with cognitive processing as a new part of its design toolkit. Dr Smith has given half-day tutorials at the International Radar Conference and as part of The Ohio State Universitys CERF activity. For the latter, he first gave the tutorial at OSU and was then invited to give it onsite at Raytheon Tucson, AZ.

Dr Bell has given half- day tutorials on Bayesian Multiple Target Tracking at the 2015 FUSION and OCEANS conferences, and on Bayesian Bounds at the 2007 ICASSP Conference. Each of these tutorials had the highest registration numbers at their respective conferences.

Biographies: Dr. Graeme E. Smith is a Research Scientist at The Ohio State University and is a visiting scholar at University College London. His pertinent research interests include: cognitive/fully adaptive radar processing; the role of cognition in radar resources management; echoic flow for radar and sonar; passive bistatic and multistatic radar systems; bistatic/MIMO clutter; radar micro- Doppler signatures; target recognition/classification; and coherent-on-receive radars for sea surface monitoring. His primary focus is research into how radar processing can be improved through mankinds understanding of cognitive processes. In essence he seeks to answer the question of how the abilities of natural, cognitive echolocating sensors, that can be so successful that certain species rely on them for their survival, can be achieved in man- made sensors.

This tutorial will provide an introduction to the modeling of radar sea clutter and its application to modern maritime radar design. Maritime radars operate in a challenging environment and the design of radars that can reliably detect small targets on the sea surface remains at the forefront of radar research. A major part of the challenge is the need to discriminate between returns from targets and those from the sea surface, i.e. the sea clutter. In order to design better detection systems, predict performance, test systems with simulated data and assess operational performance, considerable attention is paid to the mathematical modeling of sea clutter. This tutorial will provide the background to this modeling and introduce the latest research results in this still- evolving field.

Simon Watts has presented tutorials on radar sea clutter and modeling at over 12 radar conferences since 1997. Luke Rosenberg has presented related material at two radar conferences in 2015.
