1 Design and Optimization of Passive and Active Imaging Radar
DARPA grant F Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering in collaboration with Gaithersburg, MD Sponsored by Administered by

2 Objectives Apply statistical inference techniques, information theory, and state-of-the-art physics-based modeling of electromagnetic phenomena to develop algorithms for imaging and recognizing airborne targets via radar. Emphasize passive systems which exploit “illuminators of opportunity” such as commercial TV and FM radio broadcasts Predict the fundamental performance limits of any system employing this kind of data

3 The Team Faculty Graduate Students Postdocs Pierre Moulin YoramBresler
Dave Munson Chew Weng Faculty Dick Blahut Yong Wu Shawn Herman Raman Venkataramani Graduate Students Shu Xiao SoumyaJana Michael Brandfass Jong Ye Postdocs Lanterman Aaron

4 Passive Radar Systems Multistatic system using commercial transmitters
System remains covert No cost of building transmitters Coverage of low altitude targets Television and FM radio signals Low frequency Low practical bandwidths On all the time Good doppler resolution, poor range resolution Need high SNR receivers

5 Interaction with Lockheed Martin
The Passive Coherent Location (PCL) group at Lockheed Martin Mission Systems in Gaithersburg, MD is acting as an unfunded and unfunding partner Makers of the Silent SentryTM PCL system Helped isolate specific areas of investigation Provided Silent SentryTM data (position, velocity, complex reflectances) of a cooperatively flown Dassault Falcon 20 observed using 3 FM transmitters
