Method for generating radar video frames in a spatially distributed system of small-sized airborne radars

A method for generating radar video frames in a two-position spatially distributed system of small-sized airborne radar stations is presented. Each station operates in the anterolateral viewing mode and applies a subaperture sliding window mode, in which the synthesized aperture is constructed from partially overlapping fragments. Such an organization makes it possible to ensure an acceptable frame rate without reducing their resolution. The achieved accuracy of determining the coordinates of objects on the sector boundary is almost four times higher than that provided by single-position survey methods. The results confirm the possibility of using the proposed method for all-weather operational control of zones in emergency situations.
