Abstract: A smart radar data mining and target location corroboration system has a target incident processing system (TIPS) and target information system (TIS) that provide corroborating radar data in response to target incident data, to assist search and response personnel in responding to high-risk safety or security incidents involving an uncooperative vessel or aircraft. The TIPS rapidly mines large volumes of historical radar track data, accessible through the TIS, to extract corroborating radar data pertinent to the target incident data. The corroborating radar data include trajectories, last known radar position (LKRP) or first known radar position (FKRP) information believed to be associated with the target incident data.

Abstract: A personal, electronic target vision system displays targets to one or more users relative to each user's respective location. With a personal electronic vision device carried by a user, targets in the field of view of the user are rendered in real-time to the user so that the user can visualize where the targets are relative to him, in an orientation analogous to unaided human vision. Each electronic vision device exchanges target selection information to a target vision server which returns to the electronic vision device the corresponding selected target location information for rendering to the user. The target selection information for a given user accounts for the user's changing user view geometry so that the selected targets returned and rendered are in accordance with the user's changing viewpoint. The target vision server queries a target information server in order to access, filter and provide the real-time target location information required by each user's electronic vision device. A surveillance system, consisting of any number and types of sensors and target tracking systems which are separate from and independent of the users, provide the target information server with target location information. Targets handled by the personal, electronic target vision system are dynamic in nature and include all types such as aircraft, birds, planets, space objects, vessels, vehicles, animals, and persons. System elements can reside in the Cloud and the personal electronic vision device can be implemented as an application on a mobile device.

Abstract: In cognitive radar information networks (CRINs) human-like cognitive abilities of attention and intelligence are built into radar systems and radar information networks (RINS) to assist operators with information overload. A CRIN comprises a plurality of radar sensing nodes monitoring an environment, a repository or memory, and a cognitive radar controller. Each radar sensing node includes a radio frequency transmitter, a transmitting antenna, and a receiver and receiving antenna. The receiver includes a digital radar processor for generating receiver information from the received echoes about the environment. The repository is configured for receiving and storing the receiver information generated by the digital radar processor. The cognitive controller is configured to automatically focus the system's attention on a region of interest within the surveillance volume in response to an attention request, by selecting the transmitter's waveform, selecting the receiver's processing mode, and controlling the transmitter's antenna. The cognitive controller learns from the environment by exploiting the repository's historical receiver information and further learns from the consequences of its past decision.

Abstract: A 3D avian radar sampling system comprises a 3D volume scanning radar system and an avian track interpreter. The radar system tracks bird or other airborne targets within its local 3D surveillance volume which could be characterized by a cylinder with a typical range of 0 to 10 km and typical altitude of 0 to 10,000 ft above ground level. Special scanning methods are employed to ensure that volume revisit times are suitably short and track data produce 3D target trajectories, both of which are needed for avian activity reports to be meaningful and timely. The avian interpreter uses the track data from the volume scanning radar to create detailed avian activity reports that convey bird abundance and behavior within the 3D cylindrical volume on intervals including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. Hourly activity reports (updated typically every 15 minutes) provide enhanced situational awareness of developing hazards and are actionable, allowing operators to dispatch wildlife control personnel to respond to threats. Older activity reports help uncover recurring patterns to guide management efforts. Applications include bird aircraft strike hazard (BASH) management and natural resource management. The apparatus and methods are equally suitable for other airborne targets such as general aviation aircraft and ultralights, making the invention appropriate for homeland security, as well as ground-based sense and avoid systems needed for unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

Abstract translation: 3D鸟类雷达采样系统包括一个3D体积扫描雷达系统和一个鸟类轨道解释器。 雷达系统追踪其当地3D监视量内的鸟类或其他空中目标，其特征可能是典型的0至10公里范围内的气瓶以及地平线以上0至10,000英尺的典型海拔高度。 采用特殊扫描方法确保体积重访时间适当短，并且跟踪数据产生3D目标轨迹，这两种情况都是禽类活动报告有意义和及时所必需的。 禽类解释者使用来自体积扫描雷达的踪迹数据创建详细的禽类活动报告，以每小时，每天，每周，每月和每年的时间间隔在3D圆柱体积内传达禽类丰度和行为。 每小时的活动报告（通常每15分钟更新一次）提供增强的情境意识，开发危害并可采取行动，允许操作员派遣野生动物控制人员对威胁做出反应。 较早的活动报告有助于发现反复出现的模式以指导管理工作。 应用包括鸟类飞机起飞危险（BASH）管理和自然资源管理。 该装置和方法同样适用于其他空中目标，例如通用航空飞机和超轻型飞机，使得本发明适用于国土安全，以及地基感和避免无人航空系统（UAS）所需的系统。

Abstract: A height-finding 3D avian radar comprises an azimuthally scanning radar system with means of varying the elevation pointing angle of the antenna. The elevation angle can be varied by employing either an antenna with multiple beams, or an elevation scanner, or two radars pointed at different elevations. Heights of birds are determined by analyzing the received echo returns from detected bird targets illuminated with the different elevation pointing angles.
