Transcational Arrangements

• Creation Sustenance of Intellectual and
  research infrastructure
• Performance of imagination-driver generic basic
  research aimed at expanding and deepening the
  relevant knowledge base. funding for (a) and (b)
  will be through ER at DRDO HQrs)
• Utilization of both (a) and (b) above by
  acquiring research services through CARS-a new
  transcational instrument planned for use from
  April 01, 2001.

6
Topics Suggested By NPOL.

• Signal Noise Modeling
• Enabling optimal / sub optimal design of systems
• Furnishing the type of information that can be
  extracted from the system
• Facilitating an effective evaluation of the
  system performance in diverse situation.

7
CFAR Processing

• Cell Averaging CFAR processing and its Variants
  ( like cell average grater of
• CAGO, Cell average smaller of CASO, Rank
  Cursor RC and order statistics OS
• Distribution free CFAR Processing and
• Adaptive filters

8
Adaptive Array Processing

• Statistical modeling of sensor signal
  characteristics, when flexible sensor array is
  towed through fluid medium, as a function of
  towing speed and sea conditions.
• Analytical methods to predict the performance
  degradation of various adaptive beam formers with
  a correlated displacement from sensor to sensor.
• Influence of various spatio- temporal ambient
  noise conditions
• Develop adaptive beam formers which are robust to
  array imperfections.

9
Data Fusion

• Fusion of data to refine measurements like
  bearing, range spectral characteristics.
• Fusion of decision of individual processor
  attached to a given sensor.
• CABS
• Space Time Adaptive Processing for Airborne
  Radars and Anti- Jamming GPS.

10
LRDE
LRDE

• Space time adaptive signal processing
  techniques for Radar
• Wavelet based techniques for Radar clutter
  models.
• Application of Neural Networks for modelling and
  tracking
• Detection of multiple targets from multiple radar
  sensors.
• Parametric / Non-parametric estimation for
  stochastic processors useful in radars.
• CFAR Techniques for radar.

11
MTRDC

• Synthesis Techniques for Electron beams / guns.
• Particle in cell / (PIC) Modelling of
  Microwave tubes.
• Optimization of Microwave tube design

12
DARE (ASIEO)

• Problem of modeling a fully coherent Multi
  Mode Radar (MMR) and associated Air to Air
  Missile. Model would include detection of a
  fighter aircraft target, acquisition logic and
  tracking (in range, azimuth, elevation
  Doppler). It would also contain a missile launch,
  gathering and guidance model. Missile miss
  distance will be used as a final parameter to
  assess the performance of the radar guided weapon
  system.
