Abstract
This paper introduces a novel concept of augmenting the coverage of an airborne monostatic maritime surveillance radar with an additional bistatic receive only node. The simulation is modeled in Matlab to evaluate the concept. For the radar and environmental parameters considered in this paper, it is found that a 22% increase in coverage area is obtained. A generalisation is presented which allows a radar system designer to obtain an estimate for increase in coverage for a range of radar and environmental parameters. It is also shown how the concept is not only valid for air-to-surface surveillance but also for surface-to-air surveillance.
