Millimeter Wave Radar Seeker

As shown in fig.

Millimeter wave radar seeker. Active radar homing missile seeker active radar homing arh is a missile guidance method in which a missile contains a radar transceiver in contrast to semi active radar homing which uses only a receiver and the electronics necessary for it to find and track its target autonomously. Equipped with a millimeter wave mmw radar seeker it requires no further guidance after launch even being able to lock on to its target after launch and can hit its target without the launcher or other friendly unit being in line of sight of the target. Millimeter wave mmw radar is booming in application to target seeker onboard the air to air missile aam which has the capability to obtain all weather radar images for auto target recognition atr and intelligent active homing guidance. 21 1 there is a thz gap also in the field of heritage science.

Here the millimeter wave radar enables the seeker to image effectively even when faced with a lot of debris low visibility low reflectivity and dusty sandy environments. A millimeter wave radar provides a set of eyes for a vehicle making navigation easier and giving the driver more control over the vehicle. The ability of millimeter waves to penetrate or suffer limited attenuation in these environments makes this technology a key component of all weather and day night visibility. The military was the first to take advantage of this technology and millimeter wave radars were used to make the flight of aircrafts safer in the 1950s and 60s.

Millimeter wave scanners produce their waves with a series of small disc like transmitters stacked on one another like vertebrae in a spine. This new system will be compatible with strike aircraft such as the f a 18 fighter bomber ea 18g electronic warfare jet tornado f 16 and f 35 said atk officials. In addition both a passive radar and an active millimeter wave seekers will be installed on the aargm. 1 2 microwave and millimetre wave radar are used for detecting objects in the soil by archaeologists.

The agm 114l or longbow hellfire is a fire and forget weapon. This paper provides a management overview of a new joint navy army millimeter wave mmw seeker technology development initiative. A single machine contains two of these stacks each surrounded by a curved protective shell known as a radome connected by a bar that pivots around a central point each transmitter emits a pulse of energy which travels as a wave to a person standing in. With advancements in technology new varieties of mmw radars that are available to everyday consumers are being introduced to the market.

It also works in. Millimeter wave seeker technology. The goal of the program is to provide advanced seeker components for endoatmospheric interceptors for theater and strategic missile defense.
