Radar Interface Merging Live and Virtual Tracks

1Adaptability or versatility

If radar processing systems operate in virtual mode to train personnel, then training capability is improved, but operational readiness with live data is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetraining capabilityVSAvoidoperational readiness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges virtual radar data and live radar data into a single processing stream, allowing the system to handle both training scenarios and operational data simultaneously. The radar interface combines virtual track data with live radar returns, enabling concurrent training exercises and operational readiness maintenance without requiring separate processing modes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a virtual tag indicator as an intermediary mechanism to distinguish between virtual and live data within the merged stream. This tag allows the signal processing system to identify and appropriately handle virtual data elements while processing live data, enabling the system to maintain operational awareness during training operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If radar processing systems operate in live mode for operational tracking, then operational readiness is improved, but training capability with simulated data is reduced
