This highly developed surveillance and tracking radar uses a conventional vessel tracking system (VTS) radar, but differs from normal commercial off-the-shelf VTS, or surveillance systems, in hardware and tracking algorithms. The HDSR applies advanced correlation and multiple hypotheses tracking techniques to separate real targets from false targets even in high seas. HDSR automatically qualifies and initiates tracks on the smallest awash targets such as Zodiacs and RHIB’s as well as large vessels. The HDSR is easy to use because the operator need only set a few operationally intuitive controls and therefore requires no specialized training. The HDSR automatically configures itself to deliver good performance depending on the radar pulse length set by the operator, the broad operational requirements for the tracking mission (maximum target speed, size, maneuverability and desired false track density) and the approximate sea conditions. This system:
Avoids tracking on local features such as current lines or rain cells.
Avoids tracks on wakes from big or fast targets but still tracks other targets as they go through wakes.
Avoids multiple tracks on sidelobes of big targets but still tracks targets as they go through sidelobes.
