A -- Calibration Measurements for L-Band Organic GMTI Radar proof of concept system

DARPA intends to enter into a contract with Syracuse Research Corp. (SRC) to perform calibration measurements of the L-Band Organic GMTI Radar (OGR) proof-of-concept system. The calibration parameters to be measured will be range and angular accuracy, as well as absolute range and angular calibration. The range and angular accuracy measurements will put a tolerance on all of the measurements made with the radar. The tolerance is established by analysis of the system parameters. This anaylysis is then verified with measured test target data. The purpose of the absolute range and angular calibration is to remove system biases found in all target measurements. Anlysis of these returns will determine what the correct range and angular calibration values are. Because Syracuse Research Corp. developed the L-Band OGR under a previous Government contract, the company is uniquely familiar with the system and best qualified to perform the necessary calibration tasks. Furthermore, the system is currently in possession of SRC. Transfering the system to another vendor to perform the calibration would be cost ineffective.
