Title:
Radar/Seeker Analyst
Improve Army Weapon system through performance analysis!
ABOUT THIS POSITION
Will analyze PATRIOT Guidance Performance for Live Firings, Ground Testing, and Simulation. This will require knowledge of the Radar/Seeker signal and data processing methods. The emphasis will be on Seeker Target Acquisition/Track and Terminal Guidance/Endgame, but it will also include analysis of Radar/Missile Uplink/Downlink communication. These analyses will require understanding of Radar techniques for good Detection/Track performance for both high speed targets and targets in clutter and multipath environments.
