Abstract

1. A track detection system comprising; PA1 receiving means for receiving reflected radio frequency signals from an oct in a given medium; PA1 said receiving means for receiving said signals at a predetermined scan rate; PA1 storage means operatively coupled to said receiving means for storing information corresponding to reflected radio frequency signals from an object in a given medium; PA1 referencing means included in said storage means for referencing received reflected radio frequency signals with respect to the azimuth from which the reflected information is received during a scan of said receiving means; PA1 said storage means being adapted for storing a multitude of scans; PA1 ordering means operatively coupled to said storage means for accepting information from said storage means and sorting said information according to range and sector where range is broken up into a discrete number of increments referred to as range bins and where range is the distance from the receiving means to an object in a medium and sector is the azimuth from which a signal is received at a given time; PA1 other storage means operatively connected to said ordering means for storing information c…
