Research on Aircraft Target Detection Probability for OTHR
In this paper, a simulation method of detection probability of aircraft target for Over-The-Horizon Radar (OTHR) by computer is proposed. The effects of different ionosphere states on detection range for OTHR is concluded, which become constraint on simulation of detection probability. Taking variety of target RCS with attitude during flight through given track into consideration, simulation model of target dynamic RCS is established. Models of instantaneous detection probability and comprehensive detection probability are also presented. Then, detection probability of aircraft can be obtained through utilizing all models above based on given calculation steps. Simulations show that ionosphere state and target RCS have a great influence on detection probability.
