Funded Activity Summary

Towards an Information Theory of Radar. Radar is a key sensing technology for the defence of Australia. It is also used in several civilian applications. Recent advances in engineering and science have led to significantly increased inherent capabilities for radar hardware. Nonetheless, radars in service and planned are unable to counter many current threats. To a large extent these new capabilities have yet to be fully exploited, and in large part this is because of the lack of an information theory for radar that corresponds to the highly successful theory of this kind for telecommunications. Our work, though pitched at fundamental ideas in the theory of radar, will lead to the production of improved radar capability that will permit improved threat detection and tracking.
