Abstract:
A design is described for a beacon processing equipment (BPE) which is intended for inclusion in the air traffic control subsystem of the NAUS. The BPE accepts beacon video and generates a digital position and beacon code report for each target detected. The BPE contains two functional units: a reply detection unit and a target detection unit. The reply detection units senses reply code trains and generates a digital reply message containing range, azimuth and code for each target reply received on each radar sweep. The target detection unit correlates replies received on successive radar sweeps, performs target detection, determines center of azimuth, processes identity and altitude reply codes, and generates target reports. The design is straight forward and capable of being implemented with readily available components. A proposed specification for the BPE is provided in an Appendix.
