Description
Summary:There is an urgent need for radar-measured data to tackle key technologies of radar maritime target detection. The ‘‘Sea-detecting X-band Radar and Data Acquisition Program’’, proposed in 2019, aims to obtain data through radar experiments and share them publicly. In 2020, the program continued to advance and conducted several experiments in three aspects, namely, Radar Cross-Section (RCS) calibration of radar targets, detection of sea clutter and target under different sea conditions, as well as detection and tracking of maneuvering targets in sea. The measurement data of the stainless steel sphere calibrator at different distances in radar slow-scanning mode, sea clutter in radar staring mode in different directions, sea target in radar staring mode, and marine engine speedboat in radar scanning mode are obtained. In addition, wind and wave data, data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) of targets, visible/infrared data, and other associated sensor data are synchronously obtained.
