Abstract

In this paper missile detection capabilities of an HF-OTH skywave will be analysed and assessed. Specifically we focus on a challenging scenarios that is the detection of ballistic missiles in their boost phase for early activation of defence systems. Missile Radar Cross Section (RCS) is calculated during target flight taking into account of frequency and viewing angle. Detection capabilities are assessed in terms of peak power estimation and discrimination in the range-Doppler domain.
