The wake turbulence hazardous flows can dissipate quicker because of decay due to air turbulence or be transported out of the way on oncoming traffic by cross-wind, yet wake turbulence separation minima do not take into account wind conditions. Indeed, for safety reasons, most airports assume a worst-case scenario and use conservative separations. However, with the aid of accurate EDR (Eddy Dissipation Rate) retrieval by Ultra-Fast High-Range Resolution X-band Electronic-Scanning radar sensors, more efficient intervals can be set, particularly when atmosphere is unstable and turbulent, accelerating Wake-Vortex decay. Depending on traffic volume, these adjustments can generate capacity gains, which have major commercial benefits.

To accomplish these opposite aspects of radar capabilities, the occurring plots of the ATC primary surveillance radar (PSR) have to be assessed with respect to coming from wanted or unwanted objects. In addition to the various assessments usually implemented inside the ATC radar signal and data processing for this purpose, a new signature based plot classification is introduced to handle this challenging task. The plot classification recognises true air targets and discriminates them against echoes from birds, “angels”, wind turbines and other unwanted plots. The classification results are used to filter out false plots and to improve the plot to track association. Results from measurement campaigns show the benefit of this approach in real operational scenarios.","PeriodicalId":117775,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Radar Symposium (IRS)","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122372216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the property of submodularity, a transmitter/receiver selection policy which minimizes the overall estimation covariance is proposed. Together, we also present an algorithm which can efficiently implement this sensor scheduling policy in polynomial time with a guaranteed accuracy compared to the optimal solution.
