Optimal transmission pulse shape for detection and identification with uncertain target aspect

This paper investigates the optimization of the transmission radar pulse shape to maximize either target detection or identity discrimination between the T-72 and M1 tanks under conditions of aspect uncertainty. Significant performance improvements in detection and identification are obtained using optimized transmission waveforms over that of standard chirped pulses.
