Specifically we report on the R&D activities carried on within the EU project SOS (Sensors system for detection and tracking Of dangerous materials in order to increase the airport Security in the indoor landside area). These activities included a number of experimental campaigns where both the single sensors and the multi-sensor system have been extensively tested. To this purpose, we employed the WiFi-based Passive Coherent Location (PCL) receiver developed at SAPIENZA University of Rome and a Ku-band frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar developed by MetaSensing. Both the considered sensors allow a radar coverage suitable for the extent of a small airport area, though providing target measurements with very different accuracies. The experimental results reported in this paper prove the effective applicability of the proposed approach for small airports surveillance.","PeriodicalId":346680,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Radar Symposium (IRS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125064322","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}

These types of sensors are the primary source of surveillance information about air and maritime objects. The basis of theoretical considerations is Dezert-Smarandache theory of inference. In this paper is adopted the basic taxonomy of attribute identification in accordance with the standards of STANAG 1241 ed. 5 and STANAG 1241 ed. 6 (draft). In the paper a method for determining the probability of a correct detection depending on the distance of the \"object - sensor\" for combined primary and secondary radars is presented. The appropriate interpretation for the correct detection in accordance with those standards is given. The basic belief assignment for different secondary sets of attribute identification values has been defined. The construction of bba is based on Dezert-Smarandache theory and the mentioned standards. The results of numerical experiments are presented in the final part of the paper.","PeriodicalId":346680,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Radar Symposium (IRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128897714","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}
