Shipborne moving target indicator radar versus incoming sea-skimming missile mathematical modeling and simulation

Abstract

Anti-ship missiles are a primary threat to naval targets because sea-skimming tactics enable the missile to approach the vessel while being obscured by sea clutter. In order to counteract this serious danger, the ship’s radar employs moving target indicator processing in order to detect and subsequently start the tracking of the incoming missile. In this paper, we set up a relevant simulation in order to examine the moving target indicator process for a naval scenario at horizon range which gives the greatest counter-reaction time, which usually is for very small grazing angles in a sea cluttered environment. Finally, the results of the simulator are beneficial to radar designers and educational professionals.
