Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary knowledge based approach to space-time adaptive processing (STAP) for ground moving target indication from an airborne platform. The KB-processor accounts for practical aspects of adaptive processing, including detection and processing of non-homogeneous data, appropriate selection of training data, and accounting for array effects such as mutual coupling and channel mismatch. In combining these hitherto separate STAP issues into a unified approach, this paper furthers the move of STAP from theory to practice. The KB-approach is tested using measured data from the multi-channel airborne radar measurements (MCARM) program.
