A unique radar model estimates the radar’s clutter map and enables assessment of the true operational coverage of a radar sensor.
The deployment of radar based security systems often requires physical surveys and even field tests with the hardware to validate the detectability of threats within the required area.
Unlike cameras, radar sensors are affected by other physical phenomena than mere line of sight. Accordingly, there may be areas that are optically observable by the radar, but in fact are “hidden” in terms of intruders’ detectability. This more complex aspect of radar deployment is illustrated by the radar’s clutter map that reflects the way the area is “seen” by the radar.
Jedvice, a company that is positioned amid technology users and developers, creates and assimilates security solutions. Due to its vast experience through the design and management of securing the most threatened facilities and villages, it has developed a unique radar model that estimates the deployed radar’s clutter map.
In contrast to line of sight analysis, Jedvice’s model for radars can demonstrate a much more accurate estimation of the true operational detection coverage of radar sensors helping to improve the validity of the deployment plan of radar based systems and optimizing the number of deployed sensors.
