AtomicMX Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I have been given the project of making a radar for detecting Narc Aircrafts. Any info words ideas about how to do this (please something usefull) most of these aircrafts are cessna like and dc-x like. Radars based on the doppler effect are not useful, and i need to make it the cheaper that i can. thank you.
jgerlica Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 How much can you spend? You could probably get a marine unit to work.
AtomicMX Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 hmm is an inland radar. and i can spare about 20000$
YT2095 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 have you considered LIDAR instead (or as well as)? http://www.lidar.com/ just a thought
AtomicMX Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 Haven't but i was thinking in optics as well, but hmmm computer rasterization of the images and processing.. i'll try to get some info about lidar
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 LIDAR wouldn't be suited for that. It says that LIDAR can detect clouds and such... meaning it can't shine though them to detect a plane behind them.
AtomicMX Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 it would be for the mexican borders, clear most all the time.
jgerlica Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Well, you could probably pick up a former soviet LOWBLOW or other such unit. Hard times breed bargain basement prices.
