RADAR TRAINING SYSTEM
MODEL 8096
Radar
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lab-Volt Radar Training System consists of seven
subsystems (Models 8096-1 to 8096-8). Subsys-
tems 8096-1 to 8096-3 provide students with hands-on
training in the principles and operation of analog and
digital radar, as well as radar tracking systems.
Subsystem 8096-4 adds an active jamming pod trainer
to the system to train students in the principles and
s c e n a r i o s o f E l e c t r o n i c W a r f a r e ( E W ) .
Subsystem 8096-5 is a sophisticated pulse-mode, radar
cross-section (RCS) measurement training system with
inverse synthetic-aperture radar (ISAR) imagery
capability that is specifically designed for operation at
close range. Subsystem 8096-6 provides students with
training in the principles of electronically steered
antennas. Finally, subsystem 8096-8 introduces students
to the basic principles and operation of synthetic
aperture radar (SAR).
The Radar Training System uses patented
technology to detect and track passive targets at very
short range in the presence of noise and clutter. The
very low transmitter power allows for safe operation in a
variety of training environments.
