High-Frequency Surface-Wave Radar

This long-range surveillance radar detects and tracks vessels, icebergs and aircraft over a conductive sea surface. Data can also be processed to extract information about the conditions of the ocean surface. The Canadian Navy has upgraded the two prototype systems at Cape Bonavista and Cape Race in Newfoundland to operational status; the installation at Cape Race will continue to be used for R&D experiments, in addition to serving its operational role.

Ultra Wide Bandwidth Laboratory

This test bed can be used for the development of Ultra Wide Bandwidth radar concepts and is currently used by DRDC Ottawa to develop and test algorithms for through-the-wall surveillance.

Non-Cooperative Target Recognition of Air Targets

A set of reference target signatures is available for different aircraft types, different mounted weapon configurations, and different target aspect orientations. They can be generated using electromagnetic computer prediction codes and Computer Aided Design models of aircraft and their assortment of armaments.  More information

Maritime Target Detection Operating Range Simulation Program (MATADOR)

MaTaDOR is a toolbox of MATLAB® functions used to predict target detection probabilities versus range for maritime radars operating under varying conditions. MaTaDOR uses the K probability distribution to model sea clutter returns and can provide detection probability estimates for Swerling 0, 1 and 2 targets. It was developed to support radar procurements and operational planning exercises.

Mobile Experimental Array Radar System (EARS)

This mobile test bed provides experimental validation of electronic counter-countermeasures algorithms developed for multifunction radar. EARS also collects high-range resolution data for non-co-operative target recognition studies, and collects radar data for clutter modelling validation.

Space-Based Radar Moving-Target Indication Simulator

The digital simulator consists of two parts: a raw signal generator and a ground moving-target indicator (GMTI) processor. The signal generator originates ground moving-target raw signals for space-based radar geometries and simulates ground and sea clutters based on various statistical models. The GMTI processor transforms the raw data using various algorithms (i.e. SAR-DPCA, SAR-ATI and STAP).

Simulator For Advanced Fighter Radar Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (SAFIRE)

Allowing for detailed simulation studies of radar/jammer interactions, this tool consists of two modules: a generic radar signal generator and a radar processor. The signal generator generates radar return signals on a pulse-by-pulse basis where the signals consist of target returns, jamming waveforms, receiver noise and homogeneous clutter. The radar processor models the common air-to-air modes used in airborne interception radar.

Weather Clutter Simulation

Simulated or real target signals can be combined with the simulated weather clutter signals measured by X-band radar to provide a controllable source of radar data for assessing detection algorithms. More information

Spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SPOTSAR)

This facility is a fully operational airborne installation of a long-range, high-resolution synthetic aperture radar and ground moving-target indicator radar. The system adds functionality to maritime surveillance radar for Landspot, Stripmap and Seaspot modes.

SpotSAR Hot Bench

This is a fully instrumented laboratory installation of SpotSAR and ground moving-target indicator radar.

Multifunction Radar Simulator

Flexible naval radar simulation can be used to evaluate the performance of conventional and multifunction radar against anti-ship missiles, to study adaptive techniques for improving radar performance, and to study sensor integration concepts.

Ground Processing

This facility can be used for the post-processing of high-resolution data from airborne synthetic aperture radar.

Extended Air Defence Simulation

Combat and materiel developers and operational commanders can use this workstation-hosted system-level simulation capability to assess the effectiveness of theatre missile and air defence systems against air defence threats.

Transportable High-Frequency Radar

Powered by a 15 kW portable generator and operating over the frequency range 8-20 MHz, this transportable surveillance system can be used to investigate various applications of high-frequency radar in either the line-of-sight or surface wave mode. The system is equipped to operate with either an 8-element or 16-element receive array. The electronics, data acquisition, and analysis and display systems are housed in a small trailer.
