Description
Key features
- Downstream of all radar and display processing.
- Solution is in the Video Domain.
- Non-computational high speed logic processing (FPGA hardware).
- Based on transition and clutter zones, using colour detection.
- Toggles between two modes:
-
- Continuous clutter sampling and removal (clear air).
… OR …- Historic clutter removal (target crossing).
-
- All SSR and Mode S target classes are unaffected.

Mitigation clutter method
Left: The diagrams show areas of clutter caused by the moving blades of individual wind turbines.
Centre: By detecting the clutter in clear air dimming the clutter, distractions are reduced.
Right: By applying the clear air clutterwhen an airicraft passes over the clutter it clarifies the radar presentation, although aircraft targets will have small gaps.
