An air to ground forward scan B-scope and PPI imaging radar simulation for diverse and urban terrain

Discusses the development of an air to ground, variable flight path, variable system parameter forward sector scan imaging radar simulation capable of treating urban terrain. This work has been supported by the U.S. Army Engineers Waterways Experiment Station in conjunction with the U.S. Army Theatre Missile Defence Command. Like its sister sidelooking simulation the forward scan mode models both natural terrain and cultural scene elements in a single integrated database.<>
