The development of radar has been one of the most successful direct applications of physics ever attempted, and then implemented and applied at large scale. Radar continues to provide the key surveillance component for both air defence and air traffic control. As we drive past them, rotating radar antennas at airfields and the Pyramid at Fylingdales are familiar sights as they search their airspace. This book shows that under the physical laws and with modern data processing, staring radar offers a new direction of travel. The process of detection and tracking can be updated through persistent signal discovery and target analysis, without losses in sensitivity, and while delivering detailed information on target dynamics and classification.
